A Paco Rabanne metal worked butterfly link necklace, held by hooks. Length 48 cm. Paco Rabanne begun his career by designing jewellery for Givenchy, Dior and Balenciaga, then founded his own fashion house in 1966. He used many unconventional materials including metal, paper and plastic to create his flamboyant designs. One of the principles of his style was the use of rigid materials held together by metallic rings or rivets. Unique materials and innovative designs are what makes his pieces so sought after to this day.
