PIERRE CARDIN- 2000 Grey Wool Plaid Coat, Size 10

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: 2000

*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.

Description: This Pierre Cardin coat exemplifies the designer's iconic Space Age aesthetic with its bold architectural construction. The gray, black, and white plaid wool check provides sophisticated visual interest, while the voluminous silhouette and distinctive batwing sleeves—cropped at mid-arm—create an avant-garde statement piece. The double-breasted front showcases nine oversized black buttons arranged in a striking geometric grid, complemented by a squared-off neckline and functional front slit pockets. The unstructured, slightly oversized fit embodies the innovative design philosophy that defined Cardin's revolutionary approach to fashion during this era. A remarkable example of late 20th-century couture craftsmanship.

Condition:  Gently Worn with no obvious damage
