In the statement shared on Instagram, the fashion house noted that it wished to honour its founder and visioner who passed away that day (yesterday, February 3, 2023). It described him as one of the seminal figures in the world of fashion and one whose legacy will continue to be an inspiration.
The comment section of the post was thronged by fans and others who are conversant with Paco Rabanne one way or the other – but mostly through his creations in the world of fashion and perfumery.
Paco Rabanne stood out for many things, including his 1 Million cologne, which has been rated among the best perfumes for men. This bestseller remains a big win among the trendiest of men and those who want to stand out with how they smell.
Paco Rabanne, whose real name was Francisco Rabaneda y Cuervo, grew up surrounded by fashion, so it wasn’t surprising he should delve into the fashion space as well. His mother was a seamstress for Balenciaga’s first fashion line. Rabanne studied architecture in France and then delved into the world of fashion.
