Pierre Cardin: his life in photography

2 hours ago

Pierre Cardin, a legend in the fashion world who showed creative and future-oriented fashion, died at the age of 98.

Having worked as a designer for more than 70 years, he is called a master of French fashion. After the Second World War, he opened his own boutique, and is evaluated for helping to lead the’golden age’ of Paris fashion with futuristic design.

Cardin’s name became known worldwide thanks to his licensing business. He is regarded as a representative example of mass-producing clothes of famous designers and distributing them to the public. It was a strange attempt in the fashion world at the time.

He held a comeback fashion show at the age of 90 in 2012, and was active until old age.

I looked back on his fashion and life with 10 photos.

Cardin began working in fashion in Paris after World War II. By the 1960s, it became a leader in European fashion.
