Unusual materials and designs wouldn’t be covered without Paco Rabanne. The “1969” chainmail shoulder bag is an iconic piece by this brand known for its futuristic design. The usage of unexpected materials to create fashion is more common in times of “Project Runway” but has rarely been seen back in the 60s. Plastic, metal, brass and other things have been used to create memorable and exciting moments in fashion history. Finding a model made of leather and brass plates is rare, especially when it comes with a box. It is a perfect way to dip into the brand without donning a full-on armor of a dress. Increasingly seen on Influencers and across social media, the brand is starting to experience the comeback in fashion it deserves, instead of just being remembered for perfumes. Altogether this look is more inspired by “Barbarella” than Berghain, especially, as Paco Rabanne himself first received international recognition due to his costume designs for exactly that movie.
