75. Pierre Cardin

Italian-born French fashion designer best known for his haute couture geometric avant-garde designs

The 1960's were a varied and successful period for Pierre Cardin. In the first years of the decade, he began to design clothes inspired by science. This would become known simply as the "Space Age look." Interestingly, just as Japanese fashion had inspired Cardin years before, some Japanese designers are still heavily influenced by the futuristic style that Cardin pioneered.

Another success for Cardin came in 1966, when, after rounding up "all the triplets in Paris" to be the models for its debut, Cardin released his first clothing line for children. The 1960's also saw Cardin's introduction of a new casual style of men's dress clothing that had a major impact on the look of American and British menswear.
