“It is difficult to sit in his clothes, but it is very impressive to stand”: Yudashkin, Vasilyev and Armani paid tribute to the memory of Paco Raban 04.02.2023, 08:55

The departure of the couturier, who became a true revolutionary in the industry, saddened famous figures in the world of fashion. Russian fashion designer Valentin Yudashkin he turned with warmth to his relatives who had lost Pac.

“Bad news came from France today. Unfortunately, the great artist Paco Raban has died. I want to express my condolences to the whole family, relatives, I wish you to be strong. History will remember this great artist forever,” Yudashkin shared in an interview with 360.

fashion historian Alexander Vasiliev he spoke bitterly of the loss. “Another fashion talent left us today. Amazing and unlike any other Parisian fashion designer Paco Raban. Paco Raban, an architect at heart, saw in his models a line of the future, a futurism multiplied by the images of medieval Spanish metal chains. His creations are remembered for their geometric shapes – innovative dresses – chain mail made of plastic, metal and wood, “said Vasiliev.

He pointed out that there are 10 rare models from Pac in his own collection. Alexander was personally acquainted with the designer, whom Coco Chanel called a “metal worker”. “It was difficult to sit in his clothes, but it was very impressive to stand. The name of this creator was made famous by Jane Fonda in the movie “Barbarella”, in which the costumes and corset were created according to the sketch of the fashion designer, and the famous Audrey Hepburn also wore his clothes. Thanks to its originality and innovation, the name Paco Raban will remain in the history books of the iodine of the 20th century,” summed up the presenter of the Fashion Sentence show.

fashion designer Giorgio Armanihe affectionately addressed his late colleague. “The fashion world continues to lose radical creators capable of inventing worlds and new perspectives from scratch. Paco Raban was a true futurist and experimenter who always created and looked to the future,” said the designer.
