Opis
Longtime collaborators of Pierre Cardin, Jean-Pascal Hesse and Pierre Pelegry share their intimate knowledge of the fashion designer’s early career in Paris. They analyze the influences that inspired him to conceive not only some of the most iconic haute couture creations of the 1950s and 1960s, but also the space-ageinflected Cosmocorps collection, which presciently explored gender fluidity.By drawing upon sources that have been assembled over more than two decades-from Cardin’s personal recollections to many exclusive photographs by Yoshi Takata and Roland de Vassal-this book pays tribute to the modernity of a visionary creator who revolutionized fashion on a global scale.
