[Paco Rabanne’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwearable-dresses) Spring/Summer 2023 collection was unveiled in Paris through an invite-only runway show dubbed ‘On a Mission.’ The collection spotlights grunge, fetish-themed garments, utilizing silver chain necklaces, leather-strapped bandeaus, and buckled bracelets. Apparel offerings fuse multiple fabrics and colors, using floral designs, latex, and shiny PVC for dresses, jumpsuits, and skirts. Select models sported medieval-style metal chains that hung from the head, shoulders, and boots, while others wore abstract patterned trench coats, sheer long-length skirts, and ruffled tutu dresses.

The successful runway event highlighted lace fringing on matching tops and bottoms, a chainmail shoulder bag, and chain-adorned boots. Designed by Creative Director Julien Dossena, the Paco Rabanne Spring/Summer 2023 collection runway visuals are available now.
