1998 Rip Stop Jacket, Size 8

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: 1998

*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: Yellow & Ivory

Description:  A vibrant chartreuse-yellow cropped jacket from Pierre Cardin's 1998 collection, crafted in a lightweight technical ripstop fabric with a subtle grid weave that enhances both durability and visual texture. The relaxed silhouette features dropped shoulders, full sleeves gathered at the cuffs, and a fitted waistband that creates a softly bloused shape. A contrasting cream ribbed knit collar adds warmth and contrast to the bold color palette, while oversized black snap closures and symmetrical vertical patch pockets emphasize Cardin's signature geometric aesthetic. The back is kept clean and streamlined, accented by a central inverted pleat that provides ease of movement and architectural structure. Combining innovative materials with functional sportswear influences, the design reflects Cardin's enduring fascination with modernity, bold color, and simplified futuristic form.

Condition:  Gently Worn with no obvious damage.
