It's amazing how echoes of Pierre Cardin's designs from the '60s keep on reappearing here and there in different contemporary fashion collections. In the last few years Cardin didn't actually showcase anything extraordinarily new, but focused on retrospective runways or catwalk shows that were more or less pastiches of previous ones.
A celebratory event next Tuesday will celebrate the fashion house's 60th anniversary with a high-fashion collection (the first since 1996) at Maxim’s de Paris that will mainly focus on evening attire. In view of this event, I'm reposting today a couple of pictures from my personal archive that showcase Cardin's 1965 menswear collection.
The latter included jackets characterised by a slender silhouette and squarish waistcoats with no tips, matched with headpieces that could be considered as crossovers between tall hats and trilbies.
Classic menswear tailors considered at the time these garments as rather unusual, but the ones that didn't convince them at all were Cardin's outerwear pieces that also included zippered suede and leather jackets with woollen collars characterised by casual silhouettes and ample pockets.
