"Fashion should embody timeless beauty, captured in the delicate flow of chiffon gowns and the gallant elegance of men’s suits that define worldly masculinity.
"...But that’s precisely the opposite of what happened in the last century, all thanks to a godless man by the name of Pierre Cardin—a legendary fashion designer who has done more to dismantle traditionalism than even Satan himself could conceive. To emphasize the point, Pierre’s doppelgänger was none other than the ’70s serial killer Ted Bundy."
"...However, there was more to this complex and arrogant designer than his repugnant design looks. He was on a mission to erase tradition from the face of the earth and replace it with a futuristic, agnostic society of genderless freaks. Cardin once stated, 'I was very lucky; I was part of the post-war period when everything had to be redone.'
Indeed, he played the role of a self-appointed deity, using fashion to 'redo' everything. This obsession explains why Cardin was a pioneering force in the push to redefine masculinity. He harnessed fashion to blur the lines between men and women, leaving both sexes in shapeless ambiguity. He was yet another fashion legend obsessed with gender and androgyny."
