In the book Pierre Cardin: 60 Years of Innovation, released by ASSOULINE, author Jean-Pascal Hesse captures Cardin’s unprecedented perspective that fashion is not only a creative process, but also a business. These 200 pages illustrate Cardin’s famed futurisitc and architectural aesthetic which brought new visions, like the Bubble Dress, to audiences across the globe.
Cardin immigrated to France with his poverty-stricken parents after World War I. In Paris, he first worked with Elsa Schiaparelli, famed designer of the 20′s and 30′s, then later joined Dior in 1946. Shortly after, Cardin opened his own couture house in 1950.
