*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. 

Many of these pieces still bear model names or line-up numbers on the inside.

Description: This 2001 Pierre Cardin vest epitomizes the designer's visionary Space Age philosophy. Rendered in luxurious mauve wool, it showcases his signature sculptural approach through dramatically architectural "wing" sleeves that defy conventional silhouette. Oversized bold buttons punctuate the design, reinforcing Cardin's commitment to geometric form over traditional body contours. The piece demonstrates his enduring mastery of three-dimensional construction—treating the body as a canvas for wearable sculpture rather than ornamentation. A landmark example of late-career innovation from a designer who fundamentally reimagined fashion's relationship with the human form.

Condition:  Gently Worn with no obvious damage.
