2011 Black Crepe & Mirror Appliqué Dress, 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.

*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: Created in 2011, this striking black wool crepe mini dress exemplifies modern graphic elegance through its clean silhouette and bold embellishment. Cut in a simple sleeveless shift shape with a rounded neckline and relaxed, architectural fit, the dress serves as a dramatic canvas for bands of silver mirror trimming arranged in a symmetrical chevron pattern across the front. The reflective mirrored elements catch and scatter light, creating a dynamic contrast against the matte black crepe and lending the piece a distinctly futuristic edge. Minimalist in construction yet visually impactful, the design balances precision, glamour, and contemporary sophistication, making it a standout example of early twenty-first-century evening and cocktail wear.

Condition: Gently Worn with no obvious damage.
