Paco Rabanne was a Spanish designer who became known as "l'enfant terrible (unruly child) of the 1960s French fashion world. He began making jewellery in unusual materials for many of the French couturiers and in 1964 at the age of 30 presented his first collection. In 1966 he had his breakout show: “Twelve Unwearable Dresses in Contemporary Materials.” and it was with this show that he found his calling. He was quoted as saying “sewing is a bondage,” and made his dresses out of paper, plastic and metal, which were pieced together with wire and glue. By 1968 some of the most famous women in the world were wearing his pieces and along with André Courrèges and Pierre Cardin, he helped to create the 1960s Space Age movement.

Metal discs in gold are mixed with rows of silver to create this iconic, museum worthy Paco Rabanne dress. The discs are hand linked together one by one to create the shape and form that you see. The shoulder straps are topped by big oval metal plates that have hidden hooks under them and act as closures to the dress. Another large oval disc sits at the back just above the keyhole. The bodice is square cut and the shape is almost like a gladiator's tunic, that ends in a short mini length that shows miles of legs. The center of the dress, with its draped gold toned aluminum chains, is the focal point of the piece. The cut out leaves your entire midriff bare and the chains add unexpected movement. Most examples from this time period are a monochromatic silver and it is unusual and rare to find a mix like this one. Early examples of his work like this dress are held mainly in museums around the globe and pieces rarely come to market. It is exceptional. It's modern day provenance includes being worn by Naomi Campbell and Samantha Angelo. Excellent condition

Slips on to wear with hidden hooks under the oval plates at each shoulder and the back. The discs give it an almost bias cut in the way it sits on the body so it will fit a variety of sizes.

Extremely Comfortable & Stretchy!
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Deep Grey/Grey/Deep Blue
These underwear fit great, are nice and breathable (which is great since I work outside here on the south with plenty of summer days over 90+ degrees) They are super stretchy & soft and seem like really nice quality. Wash them on cold and you won't have any shrinking issues. I've had these for a few months now and after many washes, they still retain their stretchy and soft feel.

Poor length & crotch fit.
Size: Medium, Color: Black
Poor support in the crotch area. Waist fits well. Legs too short & ride up. Expected fit to be as good as the Briefs design, which are a great fit. Do not want to chance buying a size down, not expected to be any better. Will buy another brand.

Super comfortable! Great for layering under loose, cheeky shorts. Colors amazing!
Color: Multicolor B (5-pack), Size: Small
I specifically got these to wear under some loose shorts I got from Amazon (5 Pack Modal Lounge Shorts) so my cheeks don't show when bending over, and the pop of color looks amazing anyway! I have a 27" waist and 37.25" hips, and size Small works perfect for me. I love how these shorts have a classic underwear lining that a pad would sit perfectly on, whereas the longer boxer style ones of this same brand do not have that classic panty liner style crotch. The material is uniquely thick, stretchy, and thin/breezy all at once! To be honest, I am not opposed to wearing these straight up as shorts to work out it. They look like cute booty shorts and no one would know they're technically underwear. Plus when you buy a 5 pack like this, you're getting an amazing price whereas most athletic shorts are priced at $20 per pair or more, and they're not made with ANY natural materials like these BambooCool shorts are. I like them!
