Pierre Cardin Quotations

They said pret-a-porter will kill your name, and it saved me

We undress men and women, we don't dress them any more.

I have a name, I have to take advantage of it.

I was very lucky, I was part of the post-war period when everything had to be redone.

The only one who is alive today and still being talked about is Pierre Cardin.

? Yeah, I thought that was cool too!

My name is more important than myself.

I wash with my own soap-wear my own perfume...got to bed on my own sheets... have my own food products. I live on me.

I do not believe there has ever been a name as important as Pierre Cardin in the general history of couture.

I can go all over the world with just three outfits: a blue blazer and gray flannel pants, a gray flannel suit, and black tie.

The jean! The jean is the destructor. It is a dictator! It is destroying creativity! The jean must be stopped!

My old vintage designs are so popular now. I must have been on to something.

When I finish with one thing very well, I start some other thing. I don't like to stop. I like to continually prove myself.

Fashion design is so diverse. It does not have clear identities as before with Balenciaga, Chanel, Cardin, Courreges. Design is about being recognised without a label. Elegance alone is not sufficient,

The dress is a vase which the body follows. My clothes are like modules in which bodies move.
