1996 Seersucker Skirt, Size 6

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: 1996

*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. 

Many of these pieces still bear model names or line-up numbers on the inside.

Description: Sculptural skirt crafted from textured seersucker with a lustrous finish, designed to showcase Pierre Cardin’s signature exploration of volume and architectural form. The silhouette is built around a fitted elasticized waistband that releases into a dramatically rounded, bubble-like shape, enhanced by internal stiffening at the hips that creates a striking pannier effect. Horizontal channel stitching across the body adds dimensional texture while reinforcing the garment’s structured construction. Deep inset side sections emphasize the exaggerated width through the hips before tapering gently toward the hem, creating a futuristic, cocoon-like profile. Balancing technical innovation with bold geometric styling, this skirt exemplifies Cardin’s enduring fascination with engineered shapes and avant-garde proportions.

Condition: Gently Worn with no obvious damage
