Pierre Cardin, for whom the description fashion legend is something of an understatement, is celebrated through his legacy even today, reminiscent in the works produced by his eponymous French fashion label. For those not well-versed in haute fashion world, the avant-garde luminary founded the iconic couture label Pierre Cardin in the 1950s after an eventful sojourn in Paris. His contribution to men’s fashion, affinity for geometric motifs, shapes and ready-to-wear, unisex fashion needs no introduction but for those who require one, his design philosophy remains timeless and much revered even 75 years later and echoes even in the styles worn today.
Here's to celebrating 75 years of Pierre Cardin Paris with their timeless men’s fashion through the collections of Leather Legends, Leather Classics and Leather Basics.
Leather Legends
True to its name, this collection is all about celebrating the true-blue legacy of the French couturier Pierre Cardin. Taking a leaf from the retro era of the 70s and the 80s, these styles of men’s leather shoes are as evergreen as the legends of the era itself. Picture Amitabh Bachchan’s angry young man trope from the 1970’s smash hit Deewar or rockstar David Bowie’s Disco & Glam Rock era of the same decade, all incomplete without the leather shoes. The list of Leather Legends collection would be incomplete without the effortlessly cool aesthetic of the Nineties, accentuated with leather boots. A perfect match for that nostalgic 90s’s look is our Andes: Lace-Up Boot. Another piece that perfectly encapsulates the very essence of the leather legends collection is our Modern Chelsea Boot, a best-seller, that brings contemporary flair to life with its evergreen design. Take a style cue from Pierre Cardin Paris’ Leather Legends collection.
Leather Classics
The fashion cycle spins forever, bringing classics back in style but Pierre Cardin Paris’ Leather Classics have managed to stay in vogue for over seven decades now and how. Marrying comfort and style with a timeless French flair, some of the standout leather classic picks from our collection are: The Tuscan Derby, which has the essence of vintage Italian style with sleek design and premium leather. Another good old classic leather shoe, that celebrates the collection in all its entirety and goes with almost everything from boardrooms and conferences to festive finery and semi-formals is the Classic Chelsea Boot (the name says it all). The Classic Chelsea Boot exudes a timeless charm, blending its evergreen design with modern comfort. Simply put, a classic pick for the modern age wanderer.
