<p><span>Paco Rabanne died yesterday at the age of 88. The couturier, who used unusual materials like metal, paper and plastic for his looks, was renamed by Coco Chanel for this reason as the "metallurgist of fashion".</span></p>

      <p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s1">He began by creating jewelry for &nbsp; Givenchy , &nbsp; <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/search?query=+Dior+" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dior </a>&nbsp; And &nbsp; Balenciaga &nbsp; in the 1960s, then founded his own fashion house in 1966. A pioneer of fashions and always avant-garde, &nbsp; paco &nbsp; Rabane &nbsp; was, few know, the inventor of the &nbsp; mini skirt &nbsp; - yes, before &nbsp;Mary Quant &nbsp;, to whom we owe the success of the iconic Swinging London garment -, and who used unusual materials such as &nbsp; plastic , the &nbsp;paper &nbsp;and the &nbsp;metal plates &nbsp; in his work to create clothes that have marked the history of fashion. It is precisely thanks to the use of metal that he was able to forge a modular chain mail, with a medieval or surreal flavor and &nbsp; Coco Chanel &nbsp;she herself gave him the nickname he carried with him throughout his career.</span></p>

He arrives in Paris, where he studies architecture. However, he immediately made his way into the fashion world, known as a child prodigy - and also a bit terrible.</span></p>
