Woman's Evening Ensemble: Dress, Belt, and Capelet
A true sculptor of fashion, Pierre Cardin has a unique ability to manipulate fabric in three-dimensional planes around the body, as seen in this dress made from a number of circular shapes. The small asymmetrical cape is a simple circle with a slit to the center and a snap at one shoulder. The skirt is composed of five shaped circular tiers, stiffened with resilient nylon "horsehair" fabric, that undulate down one side of the front before forming horizontal spirals.
