Rabanne Reimagines Glamour: Julien Dossena’s Time-Bending Vision Of Modern Elegance
Luxferity, 20.11.2025
Rabanne enters the new season with an invitation to dance—an ode to liberation, creativity, and the magnetic power of style. Under the artistic direction of Julien Dossena, the Maison reveals a richly layered wardrobe where ’70s glamour, ’30s refinement, and ’90s irreverence converge in a sophisticated dialogue.
Here, elegance is not reconstructed—it’s deconstructed and reinvented, forming a fresh, contemporary language of luxury.

A New Era of Opulence: Rewiring the Codes of Rabanne
Every era carries its own vision of indulgence. This season, Rabanne embraces opulence with an unexpected restraint: less ostentation, more ease; less convention, more instinct.
Drawing inspiration from the timeless allure of Françoise Hardy, Dossena crafts silhouettes that feel recognisable yet entirely renewed—an approach that mirrors the Maison’s signature balance between heritage and avant-garde design.

When Glamour Meets Grunge
Emerging from the “Contain-and-Release” concept seen on the runway, the season’s Party and Pre-Collections embody the artistic tension at the heart of Rabanne.
Dossena merges influences with precision, allowing glamour and grunge to collide harmoniously, effortlessly dissolving generational boundaries.
The result: a wardrobe where a playful eye pairs with a refined hand, and where materials—always essential to Rabanne’s codes—take center stage.

The Party Collection: Modern Icons Recast From the Past
Rabanne’s Party looks offer a shimmering journey through time, where icons of different eras are reinterpreted for today’s modern wardrobe.

Expect:
- ’70s silhouettes reimagined with sculptural clarity

- ’90s subversion infused into sleek tailoring and confident minimalism
Floral Embroidered Strapless Dress
The Maison reveals standout pieces including a liquid-sequin tuxedo set against a retro-futuristic shag carpet, draped chain mail in underwater blue, and firework beadwork on delicate mousseline.
A patchwork faux fur maxi coat, a cardigan trimmed in Art Deco strass, and a sleek knit coat with a plush faux fur collar deepen the sense of effortless extravagance. Each piece becomes a character—an echo from another time, reinterpreted for a bold new present.

Craft Meets Innovation: Fearless Textures and Techniques
What appears to be assemblage is, in fact, meticulous craft.
A burgundy T-shirt and low-slung skirt, or a tank dress glowing in smoky amber, are revealed on closer inspection to be innovative embroidered constructions, each translucent disc hand-applied onto stretch net for fluidity and movement.
A pared-back black velvet jersey gown hugs the body with nearly austere precision—interrupted only by a single, extravagant jewel. Minimalism and decadence intertwine seamlessly.

The Pre-Collection: Casual Becomes Decadent
The Pre-Collection embraces a lavish reinterpretation of casual codes. Dossena masterfully elevates everyday shapes into high-fashion statements:
• A buttery yellow Spencer jacket paired with tailored trousers
• A glossy cappuccino coated trench, cinched to sculpt the waist
• A tie-print high-slit T-shirt dress that plays with movement
Elie Saab Leather Bag (Nude)
The Françoise Hardy spirit resurfaces through unexpected pairings: side-zippered jeans with a croc-embossed leather blouson, or a silver metal mesh mini-dress worn confidently by day. Printed poplins, aquatic florals, and polished checks expand Rabanne’s evolving design vocabulary.

Accessories: Signature Shapes in Daring New Animations
Rabanne’s accessories continue to sparkle with creative vitality.
The iconic Ring bag returns in striking iterations, joined by:
• A new reversible bucket bag
• A refined flap bag silhouette
• Signature shapes enhanced with Art Deco-inspired tassels, jewel appliqués, and playful links reminiscent of mylar balloons
Beanies and baseball caps—crafted with deliberate irreverence—add a wink to the Maison’s sophisticated universe, balancing couture precision with modern nonchalance.

A Ripple in Time: Rabanne’s Past Meets the Future of Luxury
Dossena’s vision pulses with the energy of past and present colliding. These collections feel like a flashback to Paco Rabanne’s legendary Left Bank apartment by night, while simultaneously ushering in a wardrobe that is generous, joyous, and defiantly modern.
A celebration of luxury, craftsmanship, and the exhilarating tension between nostalgia and futurism—Rabanne’s new season is not merely a collection.
It is an invitation to move, to shine, and above all: to dance.
