description: "He dressed models in hammered metal and plastic disc-mail in 1966 Paris, when couture still meant silk and seams. The silhouettes looked like they'd arrived from orbit, and the fashion press didn't know whether to call it genius or a stunt."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Francisco Rabaneda Cuervo on 18 February 1934, he left Spain for France and shortened his name to something the runways could pronounce. By the mid-1960s he'd become the enfant terrible of fashion, welding together materials no one else would touch—metal, plastic, anything that caught light and refused to drape like fabric. The space-age experiments made him notorious, then made him essential: he designed costumes for films, collaborated with major houses, and in time earned the Legion of Honour. His fragrances—Pour Homme, XS, the gold-bottled 1 Million and Lady Million—became bigger business than the clothes ever were. He died 3 February 2023, two weeks shy of eighty-nine.
