Description: A striking Pierre Cardin jacket from the 1980s, tailored in substantial cotton twill and distinguished by its sculptural, cape-like shoulder panels that create a bold architectural silhouette. Rendered in a vivid lemon-yellow hue, the design features a clean jewel neckline, oversized black snap closures, and sharply topstitched geometric seams that emphasize Cardin's signature fascination with structure and modernist form. Vertical welt pockets are integrated seamlessly into the front, while the extended shoulder flanges drape over the upper arms to create the illusion of a futuristic cape sleeve. The back continues the garment's strong geometric lines with angular panel construction and precise topstitching, showcasing the designer's mastery of combining utility-inspired details with avant-garde design. Both graphic and wearable, the jacket exemplifies Cardin's ability to transform a practical cotton twill fabric into a statement piece rooted in his iconic Space Age aesthetic.

Condition:  Gently Worn with no obvious damage.
