Quatrième de couverture

Longtime collaborators of Pierre Cardin, Jean-Pascal Hesse and Pierre Pelegry share their intimate knowledge of the fashion designer's early career in Paris.

They analyze the influences that inspired him to conceive not only some of the most iconic haute couture creations of the 1950s and 1960s, but also the space-age-inflected 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.

Biographie

Jean-Pascal Hesse, a historian by training and deputy mayor of Paris's eighth arrondissement, has been communications director for the group Pierre Cardin since the 1990s. He brings years of expertise to his analyses of the designer's work and inspiration.

Pierre Pelegry, director of Maxim's, has reunited in this book images by Japanese photographer Yoshi Takata, who was a creative partner of Pierre Cardin for over forty years.
