PACO RABANE MUSE
She would wear one of Paco’s unique creations, “the most expensive dress in the world”, for the inauguration of the International Diamonds exhibit in May 1968. It consisted of a minidress made with nine kilos of gold and 300 carats of diamonds. Composed of a thousand platelets and 5,000 gold rings, it was also adorned with 22 monumental diamonds that edged the neckline. Paco Rabanne would later recall that the dress was guarded by four armed bodyguards.
In 1967, when Françoise Hardy appeared in a mini-dress assembled from gold plates inlaid with diamond
The dress itself weighed 20 pounds, contained 1000 gold plaques, and 300 carats of diamonds. It was said to be the most expensive dress in the world at the time.
BOB DYLAN WROTE A POEM ABOUT HER
for françoise hardy
at the seine's edge
a giant shadow
of notre dame
seeks t' grab my foot
sorbonne students
whirl by on thin bicycles
swirlin' lifelike colors of leather spin
the breeze yawns food
far from the bellies
of erhard meetin' johnson
piles of lovers
fishing
kissing
lay themselves on their books. boats.
old men
clothed in curly mustaches
float on the benches
blankets of tourists
in bright red nylon shirts
with straw hats of ambassadors
(cannot hear nixon’s
dawg bark now)
will sail away
as the sun goes down
the doors of the river are open
i must remember that
i too play the guitar
it’s easy t stand here
more lovers pass
on motorcycles
roped together
from the walls of the water then
i look across t what they call
the right
-Bob Dylan's Poem "Some Other Kinds Of Songs" On the cover of his LP "Another Side of Bob Dylan"

greatest validation of Hardy's impact on style though came from Rei Kawakubo, the Japanese designer who founded her label in 1969, choosing the name Comme des Garçons based on the very French-ness of a classic Hardy lyric.
The brand's name was inspired by Francoise Hardy's 1962 song Tous les garçons et les filles, particularly from the line Comme les garçons et les filles de mon âge.[4]
Ecrit et dessiné par Guy Pellaert.
Une bande dessinée dont l’héroïne est inspirée de Françoise et lui ressemble fortement.
Publié par Eric Losfeld.
Le personnage de Pravda, allégorie de la quête de « vérité », d'émancipation et de transcendance caractérisant la jeunesse occidentale des années 1960, accompagne l'émergence de la culture rock et l'essor de l'individualisme. Peellaert s'approprie le visage anguleux et le corps longiligne de la chanteuse Françoise Hardy et fait évoluer son héroïne dans une ville-monde onirique contaminée par les signes de la société de consommation et du spectacle. Libre et solitaire, Pravda parcourt ce monde dystopique perchée sur une moto rugissante qui se transforme en panthère noire au gré des aventures. En perpétuel décalage avec son environnement, elle provoque la fascination, le désir et le chaos partout où elle passe

SHE WROTE BOOKS ON ASTROLOGY
Les Rythmes du zodiaque
L'Astrologie universelle
“When I came to London to perform at the Savoy in the mid-60s, I was well aware that the British press was more interested in the way I dressed than in my songs,” Ms. Hardy said
She added that she took style as seriously as music, and that she asked the couturiers André Courrèges and Paco Rabanne to dress her.
