FROM THE PIERRE CARDIN ARCHIVES!
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: 1991
*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.
Label: Pierre Cardin Heritage
Color: Teal, Purple, White & Black
Fabric: Knit
Lining: Unlined

Measurement: Waist-32" / Inseam-17"
Description: A striking example of Pierre Cardin’s early-1990s experimentation with asymmetry and body-conscious silhouettes, these 1991 one-leg leggings feature a dramatic trompe-l’oeil design with one full fitted leg balanced against a bare opposite leg. Rendered in bold horizontal stripes of emerald green, violet, ivory, and black, the sleek stretch fabric creates a graphic, kinetic effect that emphasizes movement and form. The high waist is finished with a distinctive black ribbed and quilted waistband accented by two matching green buttons at the center front, adding architectural structure to the otherwise streamlined silhouette. Fitted closely to the body and devoid of pockets or unnecessary detailing, the piece reflects Cardin’s fascination with futurism, performance wear, and unconventional proportions, resulting in a garment that feels equally at home in avant-garde fashion, dance, or costume contexts. Made in Paris and preserved under the Pierre Cardin Héritage label, these leggings embody the designer’s enduring commitment to innovation and bold visual impact.
Condition: Gently worn with minor pulls on the elastic waistband.
