In 1966 Paco Rabanne opened his own outlet at the age of 32, where he earned international repute for his metal-linked plastic-disc dresses, sun goggles and jewelry made of plastic in primary colors.

This is one of the best quotes of Lacroix, fighting for unique and irreverent pieces in the world of fashion.
