Pierre Cardin’s geometric garments altered the body’s typical silhouette. He stated, “For me fabric is secondary. I believe first in shape, architecture, the geometry… of a dress.” Cardin has long been fascinated by the circle—which to him represents the cosmos and infinity of space—and has included it in his designs for decades. Beginning in the 1950s, Cardin began incorporating the parabola into his creations as well. Using hoops and stretch fabrics, his lightweight, parabolic garments are designed to be seen at all angles.
