Label Text:This dress was part of Cardin’s “Cosmos” range, which included Space Age styles for both men and women. The women’s ensembles were styled with black helmet hats, black tights, and tall, shiny black boots. The full look was too avantgarde for the average consumer, but inexpensive copies of the cut-out dresses were prevalent.
