Pierre Cardin: Making Fashion Modern by Jean-Pascal Hesse and Pierre Pelegry

Pierre Cardin's designs were worn by an international elite of beautiful women, from Jackie Kennedy to Lauren Bacall and Jeanne Moreau. Drawing from a broad range of sources that Hesse has been gathering for more than two decades, this book by Flammarion features personal recollections from Cardin himself, in addition to numerous previously unpublished photographs and documents recounting his early years in Christian Dior's studio. His success in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s and his profound interest in Japanese art and design.
