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

Description: From Pierre Cardin's Spring/Summer 2011 ready-to-wear collection, this architectural evening dress exemplifies the designer's visionary approach to silhouette. The strapless mini dress features luxurious stretch velvet in green, anchoring a dramatic pannier skirt constructed from metallic gold and teal floral organza brocade. Oversized light blue bows at the sides amplify the sculptural drama. This avant-garde piece prioritizes geometric form over conventional curves, showcasing Cardin's pioneering use of innovative construction techniques and bold structural elements that defined his revolutionary design philosophy.

Condition:  Gently Worn with pea sized hole in the tulle.
