A striking example of Pierre Cardin's architectural approach to menswear, this 2004 vest is crafted in lustrous red satin with fine black horizontal striping that creates depth and movement across the fabric. The exaggerated extended shoulders and oversized shawl collar give the piece a dramatic sculptural silhouette, while flap pockets at the waist add subtle tailoring details. Designed without closures, the open-front construction emphasizes its bold proportions, making it an unmistakable statement piece that reflects Cardin's enduring fascination with futuristic form and innovative design.
