Pierre Cardin

Avante-Garde fashion designer Pierre Cardin was born on July 2, 1922. As a designer, Pierre gained popularity for his particular preference for geometric shapes and motifs. He was also quite experimental. He preferred the unisex fashion, rather than just focusing on the female form.

However, out of all his fashion milestones, Pierre was popularly given credit for introducing bubble dress to the fashion industry in the 1950s. He also entered the business world by partnering with American Motors Corporation. With this, America was able to see its first cars with a special trim package created by a famous French fashion designer. In 1970 he visited the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to try on Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit. After this, he started designing spacesuits for the agency. Although Cardin is no longer with us in this world, we are sure that his legacy will continue to live on.
