I always wondered what Paco Rabanne did.
I adore the armour look - his mixtures between metal and leather and his sculptural pieces.
I love this part of the forum.

One of those Trojan dresses from Prada A/W 09 looked a lot like one of the dresses in these pages.

is this rabanne?

i was watching get smart and in one episode agent 99 is wearing a jacket and skirt set made of joined pieces of leather (?). it reminded me of rabanne but the dvd notes don't mention anything about fashion.

here are 2 shots of 99's maybe-rabanne set (and some groovy sunglasses)
