paco rabanne has been designing dresses that you make yourself from material swatches – anything from chocolate to leather and aluminum and plastic (top left to right) can be combined into clothing with the instructions, metal clasps and needle-nosed pliers included in each kit (bottom). they were sold during the 70s and 80s, and have always been out of reach despite their constructivist origins; but they were once available in special vending machines and are now only found vintage for hundreds of dollars.
