Summary
- Kim Kardashian’s latest archival pull: a Paco Rabanne haute couture gown from Spring/Summer 1996, worn in New York during the All’s Fair Season 2 press run.
- The dress: a plunging, figure-hugging orange silhouette covered in an intricate gold-toned lattice from the straps to the floor-length hem.
- Styled by Law Roach, it continues a full Rabanne season for Kardashian — the Fall 1995-96 chainmail caftans at her birthday and a Spring 1989 metal-disc gown on Good Morning America.
The vintage couture run is not slowing down. Kim Kardashian stepped out in New York in a gown pulled from Paco Rabanne’s Spring/Summer 1996 haute couture collection — thirty years old, and still the loudest dress in any room it enters.
The construction is the story: a plunging orange base, hugged to the body, with a gold-toned lattice of linked embellishment worked in geometric diamonds from the straps to the hem, sections of the orange fabric showing through the grid. It is classic Rabanne thinking — the house that built dresses out of metal and plastic in the 1960s, treating couture like engineering.
Styled by Law Roach, the look lands mid-press-tour for Season 2 of Hulu’s All’s Fair, and it is the third Rabanne archive moment in a month: two chainmail caftans from the Fall/Winter 1995-96 couture collection for her 46th birthday dinner in Beverly Hills, then a Spring 1989 gown of linked metal discs on Good Morning America. With Olivier Rousteing — a longtime Kardashian collaborator — now leading Rabanne, the archive is not just available to her; it is being opened from the inside.
