Pierre Cardin and the Space Age

by on January 4, 2008

Suffice it to say that Pierre Cardin was the most prominent pioneer of Space Age fashion. He helped popularize a modern, minimalist look that rocked the world and is now making something of a comeback.

These cool boots are so retro that they’d actually be the leading edge of mod fashion on the streets today. Check out the flat heels and androgynous look. Even for a guy, it would not be unthinkable to wear the black ones in the middle – though I wouldn’t wear them unless they had some sort of buckle or other masculine detailing on them.

Check out this weird dress. I’m not a huge fan of it, but it does scream ‘sixties’ – and the androgynous Twiggy-inspired look is all over this model. I like the low-heeled shoes – worked into an outfit properly, they can be very classy. I have to admit, I think the experimentation with pattern and see-through materials is very very cool. It would be cool to see a whole gown done in the mesh, with something beneath. Preferably with long gloves.
