| Dress, Pierre Cardin, 1960 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
Designer Pierre Cardin made this dress to be worn by a young girl of around four years old. The design was specifically to be sold for the American luxury department store, Neiman Marcus in the 1960s. With a simple palette of cream with a red stylized heart and border, this geometric dress is immediately recognizable as a Cardin design.
This sleeveless garment has hand stitched appliqué detail around the bottom of the dress joining the heart-shaped motif in the center of the bottom portion of the dress. The fully-lined dress is constructed with one front panel and two back panels which fasten from the back of the neck down to the waist.
The labels read, “Pierre Cardin/Made in France expressly for Neiman-Marcus.”
