HISTORY OF PACO RABANNE
Paco Rabanne was one of the world's most renowned, True Fashionista fashion designers, and with good reason. From his quirky designs to his eye-catching materials, he created a unique look that transcends trends and continues to inspire generations of style-conscious individuals. Paco Rabanne was the first designer to combine fashion, craftsmanship, and futuristic technology in his creations. Many creations by fashion houses influenced by Rabanne can be found at True Fashionistas consignment store Naples. With the passing of Mr. Rabanne in February 2023, we’re taking a look at his influential career.

HISTORY OF GIVENCHY
At an early age, French fashion designer Hubert Givenchy knew that he was destined for a career in True Fashionista haute couture. Born in Beauvais, a town in northern France, in 1927, Hubert James Taffin de Givenchy was the son of nobility on his father's side, possessing an artistic flair from his mother's. After his father passed away when Hubert was 3, he was raised by his mother and maternal grandmother, who instilled in him a passion for creativity, fashion, and fabrics, primarily influenced by his grandfather's extensive collection of True Fashionista clothing from around the world.
