Naturally, I’m listening to Françoise Hardy as I type this. Le Temps De L’ Amour, (The Time of Love in English) which remains one of my favourite songs by Françoise.
The French singer was the biggest inspiration for Paco Rabanne’s latest collection at Paris Fashion Week. I noticed it straight away – the leather jacket, the jersey and skirt combinations, the metallic jumpsuit, minidresses and suits.
In my Françoise Hardy archives, (I think I have mentioned before that I have a somewhat large collection of photographs of her. I am a freak, I know.) I sourced some photographs of her wearing actual Paco Rabanne from back in the day (the metallic jumpsuit in the first photograph), as well as some outfits that I thought looked similar to the pieces in the collection.

Your right, I´m not so informed about Francoise Hardy but the similarity is really easy to identify!
I like the collection really with the clear cuts and colours <3

You can see the similarities, it’s beautiful. And Françoise has an amazing style! I’ll check her music out.
And yeah, there’s a new Jimi album! 12 unreleased studio tracks, and they’re all amazing. The album is called People, Hell & Angels

The chainmail top makes quite an impact, she is so beautiful. I am really surprised by all the similarities that run parallel in the collections, I guess inspiration, along with history can repeat itself. Thanks for your kind visit hun….Have a lovely weekend!

The inspiration between the singer and the designer is so evident in these images!

Francise Hardy was such a glamorous style icon. It’s no wonder her style inspired this Paco Rabanne collection.
