“I was always inspirered by the cosmos, circles and eternity. Circles have no corners, they go on forever,”  said Cardin, who at almost 88 is also always on the go. When I met him the other day in his Marigny office, which he refers to as his laboratoire for the past 60 years, he’d just been in Moscow to receive a prize for his Palais de lumière – a 280 m glass sculpture situated in Boulogne-Billancourt  – the original sketch was still laying on his cluttered desk. In July he opens the 10th edition of his cultural festival in Lacoste  where he restored Marquis de Sade’s chateau and bought forty houses. That the futuristic Cardin style is forever a classic is evident in Jean-Pascal Hesse’s new book, Pierre Cardin – 60 ans de création, published by Flammarion.  www.pierrecardin.com
