Yes, Pierre Cardin is a luxury brand. Founder Pierre Cardin launched his company in 1950, and the brand quickly won attention for its 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 a sculptural quality. In the following decade, Cardin introduced bright tunic dresses and shifts, marketed as the Space Age look, and accessorized them with vinyl hats and visors. He also achieved success in other design fields, most notably furniture. Explore a variety of apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.

What happened to Pierre Cardin is that while he became known all over the world for creating groundbreaking apparel from the 1950s onward, the French designer also enjoyed great success in other fields, most notably furniture.
