Pierre Cardin.

Will you just look at this vintage 80s Pierre Cardin wrap dress with original belt and try not to pass out on me???  It’s beyond hot, it’s beyond anything you can ever imagine and it’s from the 80s.  Just look at all this style this dress has to offer… It blows my mind.  In 1945 when he became acquainted with French film director Jean Cocteau and Cocteau hired Cardin to design dresses for his film “Beauty and the Beast”, which premiered in 1946, the same year that Cardin began work at Dior’s newly opened fashion house.  Cardin is credited with helping to design Dior’s “New LOOK,” a style of dress intended to emphasize femininity in women’s clothing after the period of women taking on traditionally masculine roles during WWII.  Pierre Cardin left Dior to start up his own company in 1950.  The 1960s were a varied and successful period for Pierre Cardin.  In the first years of the decade, he began to design clothes inspired by science which became known as “Space Age Look”…  Those are the dresses I’m dying to find are from the Space Age era but I will take this 80s wrap dress any day of the week…  Vintage Pierre Cardin is always the correct choice to wear any day of the week…  I’m Daniel Troppy your vintage luxury curator!
