Something wrong?He taught men to care whose name was on the label. Before Cardin's sharp-shouldered, collarless suits stormed the 1960s, menswear meant anonymous tailoring and loose fits - he made it design, with a signature, the way womenswear had always been.

About this person
Pietro Costante Cardin was born in Italy in 1922, moved to France, and opened his fashion house in 1950. His 1954 "bubble dress" announced a designer drawn to geometry over the body's natural line - shapes and motifs that often ignored the female form entirely. Through the 1960s he became the era's dominant menswear designer, reintroducing fitted, shaped suits after years of slack silhouettes and leading the Peacock Revolution beyond Britain; his 1960 collection was so striking that the Beatles' tailor copied its collarless cut for the band in 1963. He pushed into unisex and experimental territory, sometimes impractical, always forward, and though today he's remembered for late-'60s Space Age womenswear, his real revolution was making men look at the designer's name the way women always had. He died in December 2020, a UNESCO and UN FAO Goodwill Ambassador, geometry intact.
