1990s Wool Crepe Dress, Size 4

FROM THE PIERRE CARDIN ARCHIVES!

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: 1990s

*Cardin's ready-to-wear presentations are considered couture or demi-couture since the garments never went into production for stores and were made custom for clients or the runway models were sold in the boutique sometimes featuring the boutique label. 

This is the runway garment from the show. Many of these pieces still bear model names or line-up numbers on the inside. 

Label: Pierre Cardin Paris / Pierre Cardin Heritage 

Color: Brown & Tan

Description:  Tailored from wool with a clean, architectural silhouette, this long-sleeved mini dress reflects Pierre Cardin’s enduring fascination with graphic design and sculptural form. The simple bateau neckline and gently flared A-line shape provide a minimalist foundation for the striking camel-colored appliqué that wraps around the waist in an abstract, symmetrical motif, secured with polished dome buttons that create the illusion of a belt integrated into the garment’s structure. The design continues across the back, where the curved waist detail forms a distinctive band emphasizing the silhouette while maintaining the dress’s sleek, uninterrupted lines. Combining geometric contrast, refined tailoring, and Cardin’s signature futuristic sensibility, this piece is a sophisticated example of the designer’s 1990s aesthetic.

Condition:  Gently Worn with no obvious damage.
