Half intergalactic cosmic warrior, half Spanish conquistador is the vibe of the highly-anticipated Rabanne H&M collaboration. Officially dropping today, November 9, the meeting of minds is just as vivacious as you hoped it would be, and then some.
The legendary Spanish designer, Paco Rabanne, passed away earlier this year, and ever since founding his eponymous label in 1966, his sartorial taste has been ubiquitously recognised for its fearlessly cinematic touch, and this new collaboration with the iconic Swedish fashion house is nothing short of jaw dropping.
With everything from furry leopard turtlenecks to silvery sequined underwear that evoke feelings of rummaging through Studio 54’s cloak room, the new collection pays homage to the legendary world building of Paco Rabanne, while adhering to the continuously evolving collaborations for which H&M has become synonymous.
“Founder Paco Rabanne was the master of metal, famous for shaking up Parisian haute couture with Space Age modernism,” says Ann-Sofie Johansson, creative advisor at H&M.“In the same spirit, Julien has brilliantly reinvigorated an iconic brand, infusing it with fresh energy. It’s a joy to be able to bring such exciting, instantly recognizable Rabanne designs to our customers with this dynamic collection.”
To those daring enough to wear any of these eye-catching pieces, we implore you to jump on it quickly, because the collection is selling fast.
