for his 20th century pieces that looked as though they were from the 25th

science fiction, combining earthly elegance with out-of-this-world colors and
avant garde design. They may be wacky, sure, but Cardin’s clothes showed a
freedom of expression that highlighted larger ideals, in particular the
