Pierre Cardin, the French designer whose Space Age style was among the iconic looks of 20th-century fashion, has died at 98, France’s Academy of Fine Arts said.
A licensing maverick, Cardin’s name embossed myriad products from wristwatches to bedsheets, making his label among the world’s most famous.
In the brand’s heyday in the 1970s and 80s, his products were sold at some 100,000 outlets worldwide, though that number dwindled dramatically in later decades.

Back when my mom would drag me to get “holiday” or “special occasion” clothes at A&S or Macy’s, and all I knew about PC was that his clothes were scratchy. RIP.

1970s I had a brown wool suit of his. My mom would make me wear it to church. It’s 95 degrees in August and here I am in a brown wool suit. I hated that thing.

I pay tribute to anyone who makes it to age 98

Remember This?
Lucy and Ethel are enamored of the latest fashions in Paris. Fred and Ricky play a trick on them, with grain sacks and feed-bags. Next thing you know, all the Paris Fashion Houses are showing the same "fashions".
RIP, Pierre Cardin.

I did as well and I later learned that Cher’s mother was one of the French models at the end of the episode.

I always wanted a '70's 401 4 speed Pierre Cardin AMX:
Probaby the wildest Headliner ever put in a production car.
This was 5 years before Ford went crazy with this type of stuff.
RIP Mr. Cardin.
