2009 Yellow Plisse Pleated Hoop 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: S/S 2009

*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: A quintessential Pierre Cardin creation from 2009, this yellow dress showcases the visionary designer's signature approach to form and fabric innovation. The voluminous A-line silhouette—structured with a hoop hem that produces the dress's distinctive fluted profile—combines architectural precision with graceful proportions. Fine vertical pleating, executed in the plissé method, animates the surface with refined texture and movement throughout. At the neckline, a prominent contrasting fabric flower provides an elegant, feminine accent reflective of Cardin's later haute couture sensibility. This piece embodies the designer's enduring commitment to modernist elegance and sculptural dressing. 

Condition: Gently Worn with no obvious damage
