Kim Kardashian's current style rotation is anchored in vintage Paco Rabanne—rare archival pieces that are notoriously difficult to track down.
For her most recent look, the fashion mogul slipped into a bold orange dress plucked from Paco Rabanne's Haute Couture Spring/Summer 1996 collection. The garment features a plunging neckline with a sleeveless design and figure-hugging silhouette. The dress is adorned with gold embellishments in large cutout designs for a striking accent.

Kim has been favouring coveted Paco Rabanne designs this season. For a family dinner celebrating her 46th birthday at Baldi at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, Kim opted for two ensembles from Paco Rabanne's Fall/Winter 1995 Haute Couture collection.
Both looks consisted of a crystal-embellished mini dress styled with a matching headpiece. The first was a metallic, olive-green garment in the style of a tunic. The dress featured a deep V-neckline with kimono-inspired sleeves. It boasted a daring slit at the hem and was embellished with intricate orange and blue gems along the edges and bodice. It was styled with a bejeweled headpiece for a striking finish.

The dress was styled over simple black lingerie, with its deep, rich hue offering a sultrier take for the evening. The garment was styled with the matching chainmail headpiece and a statement necklace that formed part of the dress.
Charlotte Cohu, founder of Lovers Lane, a vintage designer boutique in West London, spoke to HELLO! to offer her expert take on archival Rabanne. "Given the craft that went into his pieces, often they were haute-couture or custom," she shared. "It could take 500 hours to complete one piece alone. With the chain mail dresses, each tiny piece of metal is joined together with pliers to form the shape of the garment. I think this rarity only adds to their specialness, but when you do see one it is instantly recognizable as Rabanne. The quality shows too – pieces that are over 50 years old look like they were made yesterday."
