The dress is a vase which the body follows. My clothes are like modules in which bodies move.

I do not believe there has ever been a name as important as Pierre Cardin in the general history of couture.

I can go all over the world with just three outfits: a blue blazer and gray flannel pants, a gray flannel suit, and black tie.

I was very lucky, I was part of the post-war period when everything had to be redone.

Fashion design is so diverse. It does not have clear identities as before with Balenciaga, Chanel, Cardin, Courreges. Design is about being recognised without a label. Elegance alone is not sufficient.

My name is more important than myself.
