Opinion Teresa Helbig: "The daring, ingenuity and cunning that Paco Rabanne leaves us"
The house of the French-Spanish designer
Paco Rabanne
in Brittany was the object of a robbery in the early hours of Sunday, a day after his death at the age of 88 in that same residence.
As published today by the local newspaper 'Le Télégramme', and collected by EFE, some individuals entered the house located in the village of Portsall, in the coastal municipality of Ploudalmézeau (Finisterre), breaking a vitrified door.
This is how they entered the interior, although the authorities have verified that the stolen loot is not of great value.
For the moment, the gendarmerie has not been able to arrest the perpetrators of the robbery and, according to a spokesperson told AFP, "the damage has been minor."
The couturier's house is not far from other residences and Marguerite Lamour, mayor of this town of about 6,000 inhabitants, has stated that the thieves must have thought that there were "a lot of valuables inside".
"Whether it's Paco Rabanne or someone else,
it's very shocking
to go rob someone who has just died," Lamour said.
Paco Rabanne was born in 1934 in the Gipuzkoan town of Pasajes, the son of a seamstress for the mythical couturier Cristóbal Balenciaga.
In 1939, the family sought refuge in France after the
firing squad
of his father, a Republican soldier, three years earlier by Franco's troops in the Civil War.
The designer became famous in France, the country where he lived for most of his life, and has gone down in fashion history for his iconic metallic proposals.
His esoteric hobbies were also talked about, which led him to make controversial statements, such as in 1999, when he announced in one of his books the destruction of Paris due to the fall of the Mir space station, based on a very personal reading of the prophecies. of
Nostradamus.
