Yes, you got it right, "écrou" = "nut" - because fashion designer Paco Rabanne used metal a lot for his dresses.
ReplyDeleteFrom Wikipedia:
"He originally had an architect's education but became known as the enfant terrible of the French fashion world in the 1960s.
Rabanne started his career in fashion by creating jewelry for Givenchy, Dior, and Balenciaga. He started his own fashion house in 1966. He used such unconventional materials as metal, paper and plastic for his outlandish and flamboyant designs.
Paco Rabanne is known for his costume designs for such films as Barbarella. Also Françoise Hardy was a big fan of Rabanne's designs."
Searching "paco rabanne dress" in Google images will give you a precise idea of what those metal dresses look like.
