Story & heritage
Rabanne made its name with metal clothing in the 1960s, and the chainmail mini dress is the clearest modern version of that idea.
It keeps the house's futuristic shine, but turns it into a short evening dress rather than a couture statement.
Materials & craft
Retail copy describes linked metal discs and ring construction, usually in gold-tone finishes. The dress hangs like armor but moves like eveningwear.
The shape is typically mini, with a fitted body that lets the chainmail surface stay legible.

How to choose & style
Style it with minimal shoes and little else; the dress already carries the whole look.
