Pierre Cardin Museum Brings Designer’s Futurist Style to Venice
The exhibition features about 130 outfits and revisits the couturier’s ready-to-wear legacy and space-age designs.
- On September 13, a museum dedicated to the late couturier Pierre Cardin will open at the Palazzo Bragadin in Venice, the Italian-born French designer's home for nearly 40 years.
- Thursday's costume ball at the palazzo celebrated the upcoming opening, occurring 75 years to the day after a legendary 1951 party that launched Cardin's career with a commission of 30 costumes.
- Inside the nearly 1,000-square-metre exhibition space, pieces like a 1963 silver silk minidress and a 1993 pumpkin-colored gown demonstrate Cardin's sculptural vision for fashion design.
- Rodrigo Basilicati-Cardin, the late designer's nephew and chief executive, curated the collection at his uncle's former retreat, assisted by longtime employee Renee Taponier, who said, "You see, he shaped me."
- While remembered for his global licensing strategy of about 130 products, the museum focuses on Cardin's 1960s space-age designs and fashion democratization, aiming to restore the brand's lustre.
