In 1967, when François Hardy appeared in a mini dress assembled from gold plates inlaid with diamonds, she radiated an image of Paco Rabanne that would shine for years to come as she continued to wear his designs.
Among Mr. Rabanne’s other muses were Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin, Jeanne Moreau, and Audrey Hepburn, who wore a metallic paillette dress in Stanley Donen’s hit film, Two for the Road.
Rabanne is also known for the green costume worn by Jane Fonda in the 1968 science-fiction film, Barbarella.
