| | Pierre Cardin, he's everywhere - theage.com.au |
 | | Pierre Cardin's personal assistant, a highly strung woman, as small and as tremulous as a sparrow that has accidentally flown into the house, is frantic: Monsieur Cardin is nowhere to be seen. |
 | | As the '60s dawned, Cardin's vision tuned into the Futuristic movement that was echoed in his purity of line, the geometric shapes and graphic silhouettes that he fabricated from body-conscious jersey, vinyl, Perspex, and a fabric called "Cardine" that he invented to mould into 3D patterns. |
 | | And yet, for all of Cardin's revolutionary astral fashion, for all the early '70s trousers with their circular bottoms created to make women look as if they were rolling instead of walking, his work shows the discipline and artistic rigour of the grand tradition of haute couture. |
