Molded felt hats that resembled space helmets became a signature of Cardin’s work during the 1960s, yet the designer had introduced the style as early as 1958. Vogue described a hat from that year as “a unique Cardin projection into outer space,” underscoring the couturier’s early interest in futuristic design.
