Paco Rabanne Fall/Winter 2012/13 by Manish Aurora
Aside from thephenomenon of Karlie Kloss' walk, there was no grand finale
at Paco Rabanne. An omission by design. After a high-drama debut last season,
creative director Manish Aurora wanted the big surprise to be the lack of a big surprise.
He set wearability as his goal and looked for cues in heyday-era fans like
Françoise Hardy and Brigitte Bardot. In fact, some of the freshest dresses were
re-creations of Bardot's iconic stripey metal shift, a testament to the power of
Rabanne's codes. Arora's versions are lightened up with discs in silicon and even
royal blue ponyskin, a testament to his skill in updating them.
