And what a return it was! With a collection of 138 looks, or over 30 minutes of runway time, the designer proved that he&#8217;s still capable of surprising, and more than twice.<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O7u6xpGue0Q\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nThe parade was held in the hall of the Palais de la Bourse. Some even thought it was going to be a presentation. It&#8217;s true that the Pierre Cardin fashion show had a rather relaxed, good-natured atmosphere. Smiling models (albeit quite naked) played with the crowd, and photographers chose the humorous route to present clothes that were, to say the least, futuristic.   <\/p>\n<p>Strongly reminiscent of Star Trek fashion (glasses de rigueur), the looks were absolutely crazy, and one thing&#8217;s for sure: Pierre Cardin didn&#8217;t do things by halves, offering materials as eccentric as PVC or latex on some. He revisited the entire men&#8217;s wardrobe, from three-piece suits worn with a simple tie to capes (with *clip* fastenings), from leather goods to luggage, from spring looks to masterful color blocking, an avalanche of patterns, materials and cuts (which I can&#8217;t list here exhaustively&#8230;) all in a rather light-hearted tone, the finale remains the thing that made the biggest impression on me. In fact, not content with presenting a multitude of creations, each crazier than the last, Pierre Cardin chose to finish with close-fitting suits in velvet or sequins worn without underwear. And then the reminder: male models mingled with female models also dressed in creations surfing on the futuristic\/Martian wave established throughout the show, and Monsieur Pierre Cardin to close this incredible procession, greeting one by one the guests in the front row (of which I was lucky enough to be one).   <\/p>\n<p>With this show, Pierre Cardin demonstrated that he has lost none of his creative genius and artistic sensibility. A true avant-gardist, he went against the grain of men&#8217;s fashion, with a show halfway between reverie and performance, sure to leave its mark for a while (if it hadn&#8217;t already done so with his previous work).<br \/>\n<object width=\"400\" height=\"300\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fluxsureparis%2Fsets%2F72157630453768620%2Fshow%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fluxsureparis%2Fsets%2F72157630453768620%2F&amp;set_id=72157630453768620&amp;jump_to=\"\/><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=109615\"\/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=109615\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fluxsureparis%2Fsets%2F72157630453768620%2Fshow%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fluxsureparis%2Fsets%2F72157630453768620%2F&amp;set_id=72157630453768620&amp;jump_to=\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"\/><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Mary Yasmine Arrouche<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pierre Cardin or the genius of clothing.
