Miraval Studios x Rabanne, between fashion and musical passion

Bold, visionary, singular. Paco Rabanne always transcended the boundaries of fashion to link aesthetics to rhythm, allure to sound, style to culture. Far from being a simple couturier, he was an architect of emotion. Through the Paco Rabanne Design label and in collaboration with Centre 57, the House has established itself as a creative springboard, propelling a generation of Afro, disco and funk artists to the forefront of the Paris scene. A vibrant ode to diversity and inclusivity, Rabanne's cardinal values.

Today, Rabanne is celebrating this sonic memory with an exceptional project: the contemporary reinterpretation of a musical treasure trove. In partnership with the legendary Miraval Studios, Rabanne is bringing back Judy Carter's cult song Listen to the Music.

"Music has always been at the heart of the House's DNA. As early as 1966, Monsieur Rabanne was a pioneer in integrating music into his fashion shows, creating a unique and avant-garde experience, followed by a truly holistic approach to this art form, with the creation of his own label and dedicated venues such as the Centre 57. Bringing this musical heritage back to life was an obvious choice for us, a real duty. That's why we're particularly proud to be working with one of the industry's most iconic studios, Miraval Studios. We can't wait to see how the emerging talents will make this title their own and breathe new energy into it."

Vincent Thilloy - President of Rabanne

With Rabanne Remix, the House reaffirms its intimate link with music by inviting designers from around the world to reinterpret Listen to the Music. More than just a challenge, #RabanneRemix is a manifesto: that of a living heritage, a culture on the move and a collective, experimental luxury. Producers, beatmakers, musicians and sound artists are invited to shape their vision of tomorrow's sound, echoing the founding audacity of Paco Rabanne, and share their work on TikTok.

The opportunity : an exclusive invitation at the legendary Miraval Studio, guided by Damien Quintard, Grammy Award winner and co-founder of the studio, alongside sound experts. To accompany this unique experience, Tunecore, a global platform dedicated to independent artists, is joining the project, reinforcing Rabanne's commitment to free creativity without borders.

A Disco Soul anthem

For its very first musical reinterpretation, Rabanne has teamed up with the legendary Miraval Studios to revive Listen to the Music, a disco-boogie gem released in 1983 by Judy Carter, a confidential artist with a warm, magnetic voice. Designed to get the dancefloor buzzing, this hedonistic track embodies an era when the night was free, daring and mixed.

Between vibrant guitars, discreet brass and airy synths, an irresistible instrumental sensuality rises up, made for clubs as much as for hearts in search of emancipation. A veritable disco-soul anthem, this cult track is now the starting point for a dialogue between past and present, supported by Rabanne's singular vision and Miraval's acoustic signature. Should cost a million to sound this good.

"Remastering this track means reviving raw, joyful and very contemporary energy from the Paco Rabanne Design catalogue. Judy Carter has the pop elegance and freedom that perfectly match Miraval's sound identity".

Rabanne and music

Paco Rabanne was a trailblazer, a daring and a deeply committed artist who never ceased to shake up the rules and breathe new life into the Parisian artistic scene. As early as 1978, he co-founded the Black Sugar, an emblematic club in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that became a vibrant haunt for young Parisians, a place for partying, dancing and creative effervescence.In the early 1980s, he created the Paco Rabanne Design label to produce black French, Caribbean and African music, bringing to light artists such as Judy Carter, Kéké Kassiry, Victor Lee Roy and M'Bamina. In 1983, he inaugurated a unique project: Centre 57, a space of over 3,000 m² in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, entirely dedicated to artists.Called ‘Espace Black’ or ‘Salle Paco Rabanne’, this cultural laboratory, bolstered by the success of his Maison, became an unprecedented incubator for around a hundred talented artists in residence, just as hip-hop was taking its first steps in France.

"My hobby is making music. West Indian music, African music, lots of things. A couturier must also be a man of the arts and a total artist."

History of Miraval Studios

Nestling in the heart of Provence, on the Miraval Estate, Miraval Studios is an artistic sanctuary, where every note becomes matter, every silence a creative breath. Founded in 1975 by composer Jacques Loussier, this iconic venue has seen the birth of major works by Pink Floyd, The Cure, Sade and Sting.In 2022, after two decades of silence, Brad Pitt and Damien Quintard - a Grammy and Emmy Award-winning producer - brought the studio back to life. Together, they imagined a space of the future, a fusion of acoustic excellence, architectural refinement and radical artistic vision. Since then, Miraval Studios has played host to some of the biggest names on the world music scene: Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Justin Bieber, Nick Cave, and the return of Sade.Miraval is a place of avant-garde creativity, and is now engaged in a new conversation between music and luxury goods, supporting labels and brands in tailor-made artistic projects. More than a studio, a showcase where sound becomes art.
