Futuristic Vintage: Paco Rabanne Jacket

May 16, 2012 by WendyB

Isn’t it amazing how this Paco Rabanne jacket from 1967 still looks fashion-forward? I would love to wear it. It would be perfect with jeans and a black t-shirt.

What can I say? The year 1967 produced all kinds of stylish things … like me!

    I’m willing to be this jacket will still be fashion-forward in 2167, let alone now. The past is a blueprint of the future, after all. 😉

    I love 60s fashion. And that jacket is so exception! Although this is one of those things that makes me go “huh, I bet I could DIY that” (whether I’d be successful is a toss up).

    Amazing! I love the way he used jewellery-making techniques to make clothes.

    You would look great in this jacket and I’m lusting after it also. 1967! The music was great and so was the style!

    I don’t know if I could pull off this jacket, but it’s definitely up your alley! I love seeing patterns on you!

    God I love Paco, but you were the best thing that came out of 1967 🙂

    What a cool jacket! I so wish I had been born in the 60’s. Seriously.

      Sometimes I wish I was born early enough to enjoy the ’60s — I would like to be Mick Jagger in the ’60s. That had to be fun!

    I agree it doesn’t look like anything out of the 60’s

    That jacket is perfect for you. I was in 4th grade 1967!

      Did you wear little bellbottoms to school?

        Of course I did! You probably didn’t see the memoir pieces I wrote on my old blog, but here’s a link to the 2nd post in that series showing me wearing some checked bell bottoms I made myself:
