Reputed fashion designer, Paco Rabanne is dead.
He was aged 88.
His death was confirmed on Twitter by House of Paco Rabanne.
Rabanne was said to have died in his home in France.
The Spanish-born creative designer was described as a visionary designer among the most seminal fashion figures of the 20th century.
“The House of Paco Rabanne wishes to honour our visionary designer and founder who passed away today at the age of 88. Among the most seminal fashion figures of the 20th century, his legacy will remain a constant source of inspiration,” the tweet read.
Puig, the parent company for his brands, in an Instagram post, also defined him as a revolutionary designer who radicalised the vision of fashion.
“It is with profound sadness that Puig announces the passing of M. Paco Rabanne at 88 years years old,” it reads.
“Mr. Rabanne has played an important part in our history. As a revolutionary designer, he has marked generations with his radical vision of fashion and his legacy will live on.
Rabanne was born as Francisco Rabaneda y Cuervo in the Spanish Basque town of Pasaia on February 18, 1934.
He was famous for his perfumes sold worldwide and his metallic, space-age fashions.
