Description:  1982 Pierre Cardin silk brocade jacket showcasing the designer's architectural approach to form and proportion. Crafted in luminous pale celadon silk brocade, the cropped silhouette features a sculptural stand collar, oversized arm openings, and exaggerated extended shoulders that create a dramatic, futuristic profile. Glossy black snap closures provide graphic contrast against the softly textured fabric, while applied vertical pocket details emphasize the garment's clean geometric lines. Viewed from the side and back, the innovative cut reveals Cardin's mastery of volume and negative space, transforming a simple vest into a wearable sculpture. A rare archival piece from the Pierre Cardin Heritage collection that perfectly captures the designer's enduring fascination with modernism, structure, and avant-garde design.

Condition:  Gently Worn with no obvious damage.
