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: 1970s
*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, Paris & Pierre Cardin Heritage
Description: A striking example of Pierre Cardin’s futuristic approach to menswear in the 1970s, this vibrant red cotton ensemble combines utilitarian influences with the designer’s unmistakable space-age sensibility. The short-sleeved tunic features a high stand collar with a signature ring closure, concealed front placket, four flap pockets, and a self-belted waist that creates a clean, architectural silhouette. Coordinating tailored trousers complete the monochromatic look, emphasizing Cardin’s fascination with streamlined uniforms and modern dressing. Bold in color yet restrained in construction, the ensemble reflects the designer’s vision of functional elegance and the optimistic futurism that defined his work during the decade.
