As the leader of Space Age styles, first establishing the “ready-to-wear” industry, and leading the boundaries of material, the life and career of legendary designer Pierre Cardin are truly an unlimited exploration.

1 - “Challenger And Explorer" - Who Breaks Every Boundary 

At the young age of 20, Pierre Cardin was an outstanding protégé of Christian Dior, acknowledged by the legend as the core figure of “future of Haute Couture”. However, Pierre Cardin decided to go on his own journey. 

With Pierre Cardin, fashion was a playground, and his greatest desire was just: "simply to be creative". Deriving inspiration not from the heritage of the past, but from a futuristic, scientific vision, his designs were influenced by the Space Age when humans venture into space in the space age area. With “square-cut dresses liberating the body, circular cuts, and satellite orbit-inspired sleeve tubes” (The New York Times). To fuel the imagination, Pierre Cardin pioneered the application of materials like PVC, LED lights, metals, and even created Cardine fabric, which holds standard form when copped geometric structures and remains wrinkle-free when folded.

With a vision set “among the stars” (Vogue Magazines); Pierre Cardin never wanted to limit their products for a certain customer range. He established the concept of ready - to - wear fashion and laid the foundation for Unisex fashion with the Cosmo collection in 1964. He was also the first European fashion designer to bring products to the Asia market and leveraged brand power to build a global empire.   

Throughout his 70-year career, Pierre Cardin never ceased to “challenge" and “explore". Despite being considered an “outsider”, he always continued to dream, innovate, and venture into the “unthinkable" area. From a young designer considered as the “future of Haute Couture", Sir. Pierre Cardin changed the future of the fashion industry.
