Now That's A Frock: Pierre Cardin

I am SUCH a fan of the early 1960s Pierre Cardin . . . in the early days, before the brand became hopelessly diluted by licensing deals, he designed dresses as sleek as racecars.

Here's a wonderful example, from So Vintage Patterns. Put a single pocket offline on a sacky sheath dress? He makes it work. Turn something like this out at home? Just awesome.
