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: 2012
*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 the garment that was worn on the runway. Many of these pieces still bear model names or line-up numbers on the inside.

Description: A tour de force from Pierre Cardin's Spring 2012 collection, this architectural yellow neoprene jacket pushes the boundaries of contemporary design. The vibrant base is anchored by refined black knit ribbing at the collar, cuffs, and waistband, creating visual balance and textural contrast. A front zipper closure paired with a locking clasp at the waist ensures both security and sculptural definition. The jacket's most striking feature—an intricate network of silver grommets interspersed with knotted black rubber tubing—transforms the surface into a dynamic three-dimensional composition. This avant-garde piece exemplifies Cardin's mastery of unconventional materials and experimental construction, making it an essential collector's item for those who appreciate haute couture's most daring innovations.
