Paco Rabanne dead: Iconic fashion designer dies aged 88

Fashion designer Paco Rabanne has passed away at the age of 88, it has been announced.

The Spanish designer, whose real name was Francisco Rabaneda Cuervo, founded the renowned fashion house named after him.

A statement shared on the official Instagram account of Paco Rabanne, said: "The House of Paco Rabanne wishes to honour our visionary designer and founder who passed away today at the age of 88.

"Among the most seminal fashion figures of the 20th century, his legacy will remain a constant source of inspiration.

"We are grateful to Monsieur Rabanne for establishing our avant-garde heritage and defining a future of limitless possibilities."
