When Paco Rabanne was 7, he had a supernatural experience that influenced all aspects of his life. To the fashion world and the planet at large, Paco Rabanne became known for otherworldly creations that seemed to come from some other dimension. His use of unusual materials led him to describe his dresses as sculpture.

As much known now for his incredible range of perfumes, Paco Rabanne is a designer of fashion for the senses. Obviously appealing to the eyes, his clothing was meant to be touched and his scents are heavenly.

A 40-year career at the top of the Parisian fashion scene does not happen by accident. It is Paco Rabanne's fearless innovation and dedication to originality that keeps him at the leading-edge.

Paco Rabanne emerged light years away from the fashion establishment of his time. He applied his talent to redefining the legacies he considered ill-adapted to the age, offering fashion as an instrument of individuality, not a mark of social class. Clothing could dress the mind or body.

His approach to fragrance reflects these tenets: "I believe it is very important that fashion and fragrance be coherent with the times. My designs are for modern women, active women, and the women of the sun."
