Pierre Cardin
Best known for creating groundbreaking fashion designs from the 1950s onward, Pierre Cardin enjoyed great success in other design fields, most notably furniture. Cardin’s chairs, cabinets, tables and other pieces share many of the keynotes of his clothing designs. They are simple, geometric, elegant and cool.
Cardin was born in a village near Venice, Italy, and raised in central France. Always interested in fashion, he left home at age 17 to train with a Vichy tailor. After the end of World War II, Cardin moved to Paris and worked for a succession of couture houses, before taking a job with Christian Dior in 1946. Cardin went solo in 1950, and quickly won attention for his novel style. Unlike Dior’s famous New Look, Cardin’s clothes de-emphasized a woman’s curves; his breakthrough pieces like the Bubble dress had, instead, a sculptural quality. In the following decade, Cardin introduced bright tunic dresses and shifts, marketed as the Space Age look and accessorized with vinyl hats and visors.
In the 1970s Cardin expanded his design work into furniture, jewelry and automobiles. (Later, licensing agreements would put Cardin’s name on goods ranging from perfume to sunglasses.) Cardin’s furniture pieces — inspired, perhaps, by the rediscovery of Art Deco design in that decade — feature simple, symmetrical forms, lacquer and figured veneer finishes, and accents in metals such as aluminum and brass.
Whether you are looking for a vintage cocktail dress or a chest of drawers to keep it in, as you will see on 1stDibs, Pierre Cardin offers an option in either that is timelessly chic.

- Bonnie Cashin for Sills Coat Oversized Trailing Sleeves Boucle Knit DocumentedBy Bonnie Cashin for Sills, Bonnie CashinLocated in Port Saint Lucie, FLIncredibly rare and uniquely gorgeous vintage Bonnie Cashin for Sills coat with exaggerated trailing sleeves, likely made in the late 60s. Made from a supple mohair and wool boucle knit, the oversized houndstooth pattern features several shades of brown, green and black. Trimmed in black leather piping, it has Bonnie's signature half moon pockets at each hip and is unlined. As documented in Dr. Stephanie Lake's monograph, Bonnie Cashin: Chic Is Where You Find It (photos on page 177 and on back cover), Bonnie's pieces were sewn "...almost entirely by hand and usually by one person start to finish...". Indeed, this is truly a one-of-a-kind piece. No fasteners, one can simply wear as-is, use as a layering piece or style with a favorite belt or Obi sash, as we've shown in some of our images (belt shown is NOT included). Leather/dry clean only. No size tag, but we're estimating this as a modern M/L. Measurements (approximate, taken flat and doubled where appropriate): shoulders - 16in, bust - 40in, waist - 33in, hips - 43in, shoulder to hem - 46in, sleeves - 25in. Preowned/vintage with minimal signs of age, prior use and wear, this coat appears as if it was never worn (something we rarely say about vintage...Category
