November 14, 2006 - Pierre Cardin has opened a museum dedicated to his
work in an old garage in Saint-Ouen (a suburb of Paris that was ground
zero for last year's civil unrest). More than 700 pieces are arranged
by theme and year of creation. In total, 130 mannequins display
selections from the couturier’s 60 years of design. From his Dior years
to the conquest of outer space, all of Pierre Cardin interests are
represented. Beginning in December, the museum, which has yet to be
officially named, will exhibit furniture designed by Cardin, and will
be open to the public, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 2 until 5
pm.
