1997 Cotton Print Shirt, Size-Medium

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: 1997

*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: 1997 Pierre Cardin cotton shirt featuring a large-scale industrial machinery print across the front panel, capturing the mechanical futurism that defined Cardin’s late 1990s menswear. Tailored in black cotton with a sharp white collar and concealed placket detailing, the piece juxtaposes clean minimalist tailoring with an oversized photographic image of metallic engineered components. The high-contrast mechanical motif evokes precision, movement, and technological innovation — recurring themes throughout Cardin’s decades-long exploration of futurist design. A striking archival example of the house’s techno-industrial aesthetic at the close of the 20th century.

Condition: Gently worn with no obvious damage.
