FIDA Artists Reimagine Paco Rabanne: A Visionary Blend of Fragrance, Fashion, and Illustration
In a bold creative partnership, FIDA (Fashion Illustration Drawing Awards) has illustrated the legendary house of Paco Rabanne to spotlight a series of artworks capturing the brand's avant-garde spirit. From fashion to fragrance, Paco Rabanne’s legacy of innovation, seduction, and futurism provided a rich canvas for a new generation of illustrators to interpret - and reimagine.
Selected from member submissions across the globe, four exceptional FIDA artists were chosen for their ability to reflect the complexity and charisma of the Paco Rabanne universe through distinct artistic lenses. Each brings a unique perspective, medium, and sensibility, creating an inspiring visual narrative that transcends traditional fashion illustration.
Artwork Giulia Balsarin
Giulia Balsarin’s work is a study in delicacy. Her subtle pencil and floral compositions speak to the softer, more poetic dimensions of Paco Rabanne's fragrance identity. With fine lines and organic elegance, Balsarin captures a moment suspended in time - where scent meets serenity. Her illustrations suggest quiet intimacy, offering a graceful counterpoint to the brand’s bolder facets.
Artwork Valya Papadopoulou
Injecting sensuality and modern edge, Valya delivers a fresh interpretation of Paco Rabanne’s youthful pulse. Her seductive imagery blends attitude with allure, tapping into the raw confidence that defines the brand’s most provocative collections and perfumes. Valya’s work radiates energy and magnetism - qualities synonymous with the Paco Rabanne woman.
Artwork Fredha
Fredha, known for fusing classical and contemporary techniques, reimagines the relationship between perfume and portraiture. Her watercolour works remix the traditions of fine art with a fashion-forward sensibility, producing visuals that are both timeless and touchable. Perfume bottles, in her hands, become icons of desire, captured with fluid strokes and nuanced beauty.
Artwork Petra Dufkova
Finally, Petra Dufkova honours the legacy of Paco Rabanne’s iconic fashion silhouettes. Through dynamic reinterpretations of the brand’s legendary metallic dresses, Dufkova bridges past and future, blending heritage with high-concept vision. Her work captures the spirit of Rabanne’s groundbreaking designs - bold, sculptural, and forever ahead of their time.
This curated illustration series doesn’t just pay homage to a brand; it reinvigorates it through the lens of artistic exploration. Each drawing reflects a core truth about Paco Rabanne: that true style is a synthesis of the experimental and the emotional.
In reimagining the house’s perfumes and fashion codes, these FIDA artists don’t merely reflect the brand - they extend it. The collaboration stands as a tribute to Paco Rabanne’s legacy of pushing boundaries, one line, one bottle, and one bold idea at a time.
