Pierre Cardin Paris

Founded in France in 1950 by Monsieur Pierre Cardin, the brand has become one of the greatest fashion empires of all time, shaping world fashion with its firsts and extraordinary designs. Pierre Cardin, who reflected the excitement of the period in the 60s, when space research was particularly intense, with the theme of “Space Age” in his collections, is one of the first representatives of the avant-garde and futuristic trend in fashion. Pierre Cardin, who introduced tights, shoulder pads and maxi coats, which still have their place in wardrobes today, to ready-to-wear, is considered by authorities to be one of the five best-known French fashion designers in the world.

Pierre Cardin, whose boutiques opened in many parts of the world from America to China, from England to the Soviet Union after the 1980s, has not only increased its recognition as a design brand in areas such as clothing, but also jewelry, perfume, furniture and accessories.
