Description: A rare and dramatic example of Pierre Cardin's sculptural couture from 1992, this architectural overskirt transforms a simple wardrobe component into a statement of pure geometric design. Crafted in black stretch lycra, the piece features an elastic waistband that expands into an extraordinary oversized circular hoop silhouette, creating the illusion of a floating disc around the body. Stripped of ornament and reduced to form, proportion, and volume, the design reflects Cardin's lifelong fascination with Space Age aesthetics, modernist architecture, and experimental construction. Intended to be layered over dresses, bodysuits, or separates, this avant-garde runway piece blurs the boundary between fashion and sculpture, exemplifying the visionary approach that established Pierre Cardin as one of the most innovative designers of the twentieth century.

Condition: Gently Worn with no obvious damage.
