Pierre Cardin, fashion’s savvy futurist

By Erika T. Bailey 3 months ago

Pierre Cardin, who died Tuesday aged 98, was a man of many paradoxes — a designer who sought flamboyant yet simple styles, an aesthete with a head for business, and a futurist now associated with retro.

She launched her own makeup brand Pat McGrath Studios in 2015, and within three years it was valued at $1 billion. (I’m partial to her lip glosses.)

When the interviewer asked McGrath if she was ever worried that she would run
