Background: AN ENTERPRISING THE EXCITING DISPLAY FROM CHAIN-MAIL SPECIALIST PACO RABANNE IN THIS YEAR'S PARIS SPRING FASHION COLLECTIONS. FOR THE FIRST TIME RABANNE USES FABRIC IN CONJUNCTION WITH HIS FAMOUS CHAIN-MAIL.

AMONG THE OUTFITS, A BEFLOWERED RUBBER BEACH SUIT, COMPRISING BOXER SHORTS AND MIDRIFF TOP. ALSO FOR THE BEACH WAS A MINI-SUNDRESS MADE OF FLOWERED RUBBER MATERIAL SIMILAR TO THAT USED IN SWIMMING CAP MANUFACTURE.

THERE WERE STILL PLENTY OF THE CLANKING METALLIC OUTFITS THAT PACO RABANNE HAS MADE HIS PARTICULAR TRADE MARK. MANY OF THESE ARE SEE-THROUGH MIXTURES OF CHAIN-MAIL AND FABRIC, ALL OF THEM HOWEVER BEING SHORT SKIRTED RATHER THAN TROUSERED.

BASICALLY, RABANNE HAS GONE FOR A WIDE SHAPE - EVEN WIDER THAN THE CAFTANS OF TWO YEARS AGO. BUT EXOTIC PATTERNS AND COMBINATIONS OF TRANSPARENT AND NON-TRANSPARENT AREAS MAKE THE COLLECTION EXCITING AND ATTRACTIVE AS USUAL.
