We’re thrilled to offer a rare opportunity to offer garments directly from the official Pierre Cardin archives. Each piece was personally selected by us and is being released to the public for the very first time. Every garment features a “PIERRE CARDIN HERITAGE” cloth label, hand-stitched inside, signifying its authenticity and origin from the historic archives and its place in fashion history.
Year: 1980s
*Cardin's ready-to-wear presentations could be considered couture or demi-couture since the garments never went into production for stores. These pieces were made custom for clients or sometimes the runway garments were sold in the boutique and sometimes featured the boutique label.
This is possibly the garment from the runway show. Many of these pieces still bear model names or line-up numbers on the inside.

Description: A distinctive Pierre Cardin men's jacket crafted in a finely woven cotton plaid, reflecting the designer's talent for merging classic tailoring references with modern sportswear silhouettes. The cropped blouson-style design features a pointed collar, snap-front closure, and a structured waistband finished with an adjustable buckle detail. The striking plaid combines black-and-white micro checks with bold red overstripes, creating a graphic architectural effect that is enhanced by Cardin's precise pattern placement. Two flap chest pockets and softly gathered sleeves with buttoned cuffs contribute utilitarian elements, while the relaxed fit and clean construction maintain a refined appearance. An excellent example of late twentieth-century Cardin menswear, balancing traditional textile patterns with the streamlined, contemporary aesthetic that defined the house's ready-to-wear collections.
