1995 Rubber Vest, 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: 1995

*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: Grey

Fabric: Rubber

Lining: Muslin

Marked Size: Unlabeled

Description: A striking example of Pierre Cardin's visionary approach to fashion, this 1995 grey neoprene armor vest exemplifies his boundary-pushing exploration of unconventional materials. The heavyweight molded rubber construction features a distinctive three-dimensional tire-tread texture that transforms the garment into wearable sculpture. The sleeveless silhouette showcases rigid, architectural shoulder panels with silver epaulettes, creating a bold, futuristic aesthetic. This piece bridges haute couture and industrial design, representing a pivotal moment when Cardin challenged traditional notions of what clothing could be. A museum-quality statement piece for collectors of avant-garde fashion history.

Condition: Gently worn minor scratches on shoulder armour
