Rodrigo Basilicati-Cardin, president of the House of Pierre Cardin, talked about the late designer.
The designer got an idea, Basilicati-Cardin continued. He explained to the buyer how to cut and tailor the coat, provided patterns and sent two men as temporary guides in exchange for 3 percent of sales.
“Pierre Cardin was a visionary in the truest sense of the word,” she said. “The future was his design muse, and he never looked back. He was also a man who thought exciting design should be accessible to all, which translates to affordable to all, a truly rebellious thought for a designer living in Paris and functioning in the rarefied world of haute couture where exclusivity reigned.”
Basilicati-Cardin is looking for a ready-to-wear licensee and has begun visiting current licensees on a quest to align their products more closely with the image and style of the house, he told WWD. At the podium, Mallis said “Fashion Icons with Fern Mallis,” which she launched on a rainy night in 2011 with a conversation with Norma Kamali, is her most important legacy.
