Pierre Cardin - Making Fashion Modern

The book analyzes the influences that inspired Pierre Cardin 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.
