PIERRE CARDIN - Space Age Goes Jazz Age

Pierre Cardin

French - Circa.1970s.

Pierre Cardin is a master at reflecting current influences through his creative career. He goes as easily from slender sophistication to space age modern on through soft and sculptural to hard edged chic, always catching just the right mood. Here he takes the influences of the Jazz Age and gives us a look that transcends time and place, yet is elegant as well as wearable and modern.

Frockology Style Tip:
When wearing a look that has a distinct flavor of place or time, you have a decision to make. Do you play up the time and place or do you take the look past period and into the modern. Either works as long as you don't veer into costume land and find yourself without a party to attend.
