Pierre Cardin

Illustrated with fascinating images from the 1960s to the present, this didactic anthology is the first to reveal Pierre Cardin's vision for fashion and interior design at a time when his creations are experiencing a revival. 

"I invent for a life that does not yet exist, the world of tomorrow." 

For Pierre Cardin, a citizen of the universe, the present is actually a visionary future and the circle is its absolute metaphor. History will remember Pierre Cardin and his futuristic creations (dresses in the shape of organic structures, furniture mixing sculpture and architecture), which seems to come straight from a space age workshop. Fashion, accessories, jewelry and perfumes, products for the home, restaurants, a theater and art festivals ..., the creative universe of Pierre Cardin is very varied and very ambitious because the man himself is larger than life. The first fashion designer to transform his name into an international brand, Pierre Cardin is unique in his mode of creation and self-promotion. His elixir of youth (rigorous work) fuels him constantly. Recognized for his prodigious inventiveness, he remains today a kind of free electron, making his name radiate all over the world.
