About this person
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.
