I have a Pierre Cardin suit that's still one of my favorite pieces of clothing I've ever owned.

[@kimarajamison6951]

You wore it well, Pierre Cardin. RIP 🕊

What a wonderful story...take a bow CBS. Entertains and informative....loved this piece.
What an elegant man. Took someone like him to break the cycle. What good is fantastic art unless it is shown? How can an artist live without selling?
Fabulous....this story will never be forgotten, enjoyed seeing this....like the subject.....perfection....

My mothers favorite designer that’s all she talked about him when I was a child. That’s my mom’s childhood designer

And wasn't he a handsome fellow when a young man! And so very distinguished as he aged.

That isn't what I remember Mr. Cardin for. It was the beautiful navy blue silk blend men's suit. That fit a man so well, no wrinkles, and perfectly tailored

[@ShoshanaBrand]

A very creative person, and his name is supposed to be pronounced CARDEN, with an Italian pronunciation, not a French pronunciation!... And what with this fondness of him towards Cuba and Fiddle Castro? Weird.
