PACO RABANNE (B.1934)
A CHAIN-MAIL BELT AND MATCHING HANDBAG
1960s, assembled from large linked steel discs (2)

Note du spécialiste

Rabanne's characteristic surfaces of overlapping metal discs were originally inspired by butcher's metal aprons. In 1968, Rabanne added a lavatory chain to a handbag, a reference to Marcel Duchamp's 'ready- mades', and an irreverent homage to Coco Chanel's famous chain handbag strap. 'He's not a coutourier, but a metal worker', explained Coco Chanel of Rabanne.
