- Story Text: INTRO: Whacky designer Paco Rabanne continued to show off his outrageous catwalk creations at the Paris fashion show on Wednesday (January 22). In complete contrast, Yves Saint Laurent exhibited a more traditional, romantic theme.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Paco Rabanne continued to exhibit his unusual sense of style in one of the most outrageous haute couture shows in Paris this week on Wednesday (January 22).
He used chain mail, plastic, tentacles, sequins and sprouting headgear in this season's collection.
Despite the workman-like fabrics he used, the show, which took place at the infamous Moulin Rouge, reflected natural forms.
Many of the dresses barely concealed the models' beauty beneath metal or plastic webbing.
Yves Saint Laurent went back to the basics winning plaudits as he perfected the cool elegance of his timeless classics for his spring-summer haute couture show.
The show was pure vintage Saint Laurent, presented against a backdrop of the bygone voices of Judy Garland, Rock Hudson and Doris Day.
