Pierre Cardin ((French: ), born Pietro Cardin; 2 July 1922) is an Italian-born French fashion designer.
Cardin is known for his avant-garde style and his Space Age designs. He prefers geometric shapes and motifs, often ignoring the female form. He advanced into unisex fashions, sometimes experimental, and not always practical. He founded his fashion house in 1950 and introduced the "bubble dress" in 1954.
Pierre Cardin was designated UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador in 1991.
On 16 October 2009 Pierre Cardin was nominated Goodwill Ambassador of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
Cardin was born in San Biagio di Callalta near Treviso. Cardin’s parents were wealthy landowners, but to escape fascism they left Italy and settled in France in 1924. His father, a wealthy French wine merchant, wished him to study architecture, but from childhood he was interested in dressmaking.
