    This Pierre Cardin shift dress and jacket ensemble just arrived in the mail and I’m curious about the labels. There’s the Pierre Cardin label at the neck but inside there’s also a German pure new wool label with care instructions. Was this set made in Germany and based on the care instructions is it possible to narrow down the date a bit more? The finishing and workmanship is excellent inside, not a single loose thread and the stitches are all neat and tidy.

    I don't know where they were manufactured, but this looks like the airline uniforms he designed in the 60s!

    (Or, at least, inspired by them - as they were instrumental in popularizing mini-dresses.)

    It does have a sort of uniform look to it!

    Let me share with you my rabbit hole when looking into Pierre Cardin uniforms of the 1960s... First this link to Olympic Airlines uniforms. The color seems similar. And then there's this Lufthansa uniforms photo where I first went, reluctantly, because of the German wool tag which really means, to me, it might've been made for the European market or something.

    It definitely has the same sort of look. There’s currently a yellow one listed for sale as well, but just the jacket part.
