The retrospective Pierre Cardin: Future
Fashion traverses the legendary designer’s decades-long career at the forefront
of fashion invention. Known today for his bold, futuristic looks of the 1960s,
1970s, and 1980s, Cardin extended his design concepts from fashion to
furniture, industrial design, and beyond. The exhibition presents over 170
objects drawn from his atelier and archive, including historical and
contemporary haute couture, prêt-à-porter, trademark accessories, fashion
sketches, personal photographs, and excerpts from television, documentaries,
and feature films.
Highlights of Pierre Cardin: Future Fashion
include rare designs in luxury fabrics from the 1950s; a large grouping from
the landmark 1964 “Cosmocorps” collection, which sought to streamline menswear
by eliminating excessive detailing; creations that incorporate vinyls,
plastics, and the self-named “Cardine” synthetic fabric; signature unisex
ensembles featuring full knit bodysuits with layered skirts, vests, bibs, and
jewelry; iconic broad-shouldered jackets from the 1980s based on Japanese
origami, Chinese architecture, and American football uniforms; “illuminated”
jumpsuits and dresses; recent couture eveningwear; and an extensive overview of
Cardin’s recently designed couture menswear.
Pierre Cardin: Future Fashion is curated by Matthew Yokobosky,
Senior Curator of Fashion and Material Culture, Brooklyn Museum.
