Just as it rings true in contemporary fashion, certain designers appeal to the different stages of a woman's life. Pierre Cardin is really for women in their thirties (or women who have the balance of energy and wisdom that comes in your 30s), who can afford more expensive things but still like hip, young pieces because they can pull it off. Not only are his designs offbeat but the designer himself lives in a most creative house in France and is a walking testament to his own fashion philosphy. His version of the traditional Asian cheongsam, in a lightweight red and white check wool. Stand up band collar and patch pockets over each hip, there is a low white shoestring belt of vinyl that rings the dress and it is lined entirely in maraschino red silk crepe. Triangular applqiues are attached to the shoulders to form interesting shoulders that circle the armholes. Fantastic with white leather boots that hit your calf with pink opaque tights, this one will take you well into spring. Bust measures 36", hips 36" and length 39". Flawless condition. $765.00 |
