2003 Red Knit Keyhole Top, 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: 2003

*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. 

Labels: Pierre Cardin Boutique & Pierre Cardin Heritage

Color: Red & Black

Fabric: Knit 

Lining:  Unlined

Marked Size: 42

Description: Vibrant red rib-knit sleeveless top showcasing Pierre Cardin’s enduring fascination with minimalist geometry and futuristic design. Crafted in a finely ribbed stretch knit that contours the body, the sleek silhouette is interrupted only by a bold circular black resin ring placed at the center of the chest, creating a striking graphic focal point. The clean neckline, streamlined shape, and absence of unnecessary embellishment allow the architectural hardware detail to take center stage, echoing the Space Age aesthetic that defined Cardin’s legacy. Simple yet unmistakably modern, this piece exemplifies the designer’s ability to transform a wardrobe staple into a sculptural statement through innovative form and proportion.

Condition:  Gently Worn with no obvious damage.
