Lydia Maurer will succeed Manish Arora as creative director for Paco Rabanne’s prêt-à-porter line.
The half-German half-Colombian is a graduate of the Berçot studio in Paris. Passing through Yves Saint Laurent and then Givenchy, the 29 year old stylist declared to Fashion Daily News: “The challenge will be to make the architectural and avant-garde spirit of the original creations coexist with a tangible wardrobe relevant to 2012. Bringing warmth, levity, flexibility to a style that wasn’t necessarily meant to be sold, all while recreating the hypnotic magic that characterizes in my eyes Paco Rabanne’s style.”
Hypnotic magic! So, the images scroll by and we can’t help but think of Paco Rabanne‘s singular genius. His mythic pieces that forever left their mark on the history of fashion: the mythic metal dress, the 69 bag, no less mythic. A beautiful heritage, meant to be lived, touched, and worn. Rendez-vous in October, for the spring-summer 2013 collection.
