Paco Rabanne was born in San Sebastian, in the
Spanish Basque country. I spent my childhood under a hail of bombs in
Spain, then in France where we took exile because my family was
republican. Before that, my mother worked as a chief seamstress for
Balenciaga. I had my first supernatural experience at the age of seven
and this was to influence me for the rest of my life. Until 1966,
Courreges, Cardin, Balenciaga, and Givenchy encouraged me and bought my
sketches and Gerard Pipart, who had just joined Nina Ricci, gave me
some styles to embroider. With my whole family, I made fancy buttons
made of plaited leather, precious stones, as well as of vermicelli or
coffee beans stuck to Rhodoid, then painted. In 1973, Paco Rabanne
introduced his first fragrance, Paco Rabanne pour homme. 1995, XS Pour
Elle was introduced which is a floral, limpid fragrance. Then, in 1996
his first unisex fragrance "Paco" was designed in a recyclable metal
bottle. Two years later, "Paco Energy" was created and a year after
that, "Ultraviolet" perfume for women was released. In 2001, the mens
version of "Ultraviolet" was introduced. |
