Visionary fashion designer Paco Rabanne dies at 88 (Vogue Singapore)

Vogue Singapore gives you the lowdown on the latest sartorial happenings to know of—including the death of legendary designer Paco Rabanne.

The collaboration is slated for release come the end of the month, on 28 February. Released via Instagram, the teaser sees a thick yet seamless sunglass silhouette—akin to the goggle shape—whilst white stitches on each side seem to evoke the sensibilities of Margiela’s signature blank logo motif. On the appointment, he expresses: “I am proud to join a house with such an extraordinary history and heritage, that over the years has been able to welcome and cherish values I believe in. Other major rises in the charts include Moncler, which now sits at third place, rising 14 spots from its ranking in Q3, and Loewe, now 7th, rising seven spots into the top ten. The highly-anticipated collaboration is set for release on 7 March. The collection sees all the show’s loved characters—from Calcifer and Heen to Howl and Sophie—splashed across bags, scarves, shirts, jackets and other crafted leather goods, with the likes of newly-appointed Loewe ambassador Taylor Russell sporting the goods in the maison’s exclusive campaign. In 1999 however, Rabanne retired from fashion, and had mostly kept himself out of the public eye since.

Bigger moments include Kering Group’s highly-awaited announcement as to who will be filling the spot of creative director at Gucci and the death of Spanish designer Paco Rabanne, an icon and visionary of his time. Since debuting collections featuring some of Hayao Miyazaki’s most popular films such as Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro, this capsule has taken the motifs of yet another Ghibli favourite: Howl’s Moving Castle. Following the leak on the Internet, Nike has since revealed their latest collaborative venture—with none other than Tiffany & Co. or the final collaboration between Loewe and Studio Ghibli.
