MASERATI AND PACO RABANNE STAR IN PARIS

Maserati and Paco Rabanne, two unique brands which lead haute-couture design in their respective fields, have come together in Paris, to present an exhibition of their most historic products past and present.

The links between Paco Rabanne and the automotive world are very strong: in the '60s he designed a limited ready-to-wear collection named “rob’auto”, especially developed as a driving apparel line. His clothing, like Maserati cars, are pure emotional and come from a fusion of design, art and passion which is absolutely inimitable. Moreover, the first female perfume created by Paco Rabanne was called Calandre (1969), and the front grille, calandre in French, is undoubtedly the most iconic part of a Maserati.

The brand new Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale and a Maserati Trofeo Race Car, displayed at the entrance, ‘welcomed’ guests upon arrival. Indoors beautiful models dressed in iconic Paco Rabanne dresses, including the one made with aluminium discs worn by Audrey Hepburn in Two for the Road (1967) posed alongside the Maserati range, which included the stunning GranCabrio, the Quattroporte Sport GTS Awards Edition, the GranTurismo S MC Sport Line and a 300 S (1955), one of Maserati’s most iconic race cars.

The exhibition is at Motor Village in the Champs Elysees, Paris
