Pierre Cardin F/W 2025.26 Paris

Wow.
I am in awe.
First of all, if you saw what I saw, you have to admit that this show provoked in you more feelings than the whole Milano Fashion Week.

Cardin has to have one of the craziest heritage codes. Not the cocoon. Not the new look. But "how the people in the 60s imagined the year 2000".
And now we are in 2025.
It is mind-bending.

That was simultaneously very good and very bad, and that is its charm.
Spherical bags where half of your belongings are going to fall through.
Laser cut precision to create silhouettes that are completely demodé.
A giant period pad as a final wedding gown.
Even the soundtrack, with the Bach violin partita (enhanced electronically!🤣) was superpretentious and cheesy.

It feels so genuine, so authentic and so at the service of preserving the memory of Cardin that I have to love it.
 
I still love how Cardin was such an elegant designer... until his cosmocorps stuff. Now here we are. Demna could only dream of such a deranged legacy.

They should have brought the children from a few seasons ago back, though!

Finally, yes, here we go again! I had a quick glimpse at it but will take a long-long-longer look tomorrow morning after a good night sleep, to make sure I won't miss any detail and indulge myself with this peculiar atmosphere!
 
Where they one of the licensed brands cause their bed sheets are everywhere
Yes they were. My parents even received some towel and washcloth combo with his name on it (as wedding present) and this is precisely how Pierre Cardin became the first couturier and brand I got to know in my early years!
 
If you ever need a smile, just do a search for Pierre Cardin on eBay or Etsy and admire the licensed products that existed.

I'd also recommend the biography Pierre Cardin: The Man Who Became a Label for anyone who wants to learn more about him. I loved it, one of my favourite fashion biographies for the insanity of it all. :lol:
