History
Francisco Rabaneda Cuervo founded the house in 1966, debuting with a collection titled "12 Unwearable Dresses in Contemporary Materials." This collection challenged the conventions of haute couture by using pliers and wire instead of needles and thread. The brand gained significant cultural recognition for designing costumes for the film Barbarella. Its work remains a pivotal example of the 1960s Space Age movement, influencing the integration of industrial design into high fashion.
