2000 Black Velvet & Charmeuse 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.

*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 possibly the runway garment from the show. Many of these pieces still bear model names or line-up numbers on the inside.

A striking black rosette anchors the waistline, while the charmeuse skirt cascades in graceful gathered folds with pointed side drapes and a center front slit. The pointed bodice front elongates the silhouette, making this a refined choice for formal occasions.
