Menswear legend Cardin stages comeback

Pierre Cardin, the man who invented Paris menswear shows in the 1950s, has staged a long-awaited comeback.

The legendary designer, famed for dressing the Beatles in collar-less jackets and taking high fashion to communist China, has celebrated his long career with his first menswear catwalk show in several years, showcasing his signature space-age designs.

It was by far the most exhaustive menswear collection of the season, with a staggering 138 retro looks.
