Obituary: Pierre Cardin

Pierre CardinIMAGE COPYRIGHTFRANCOIS GUILLOT

Fashion designer Pierre Cardin was a supreme innovator - for 70 years, he ripped up convention and captured the zeitgeist. His thirst for the new and surprising was never satisfied.

He will be remembered for his futuristic designs - some were inspired by the space age, some were even impossible to wear.

He carved his own way through the fashion industry. Parisian haute couture had always been exclusive - its high priests believed it should be high-end, individually tailored and eye-wateringly expensive.

Cardin broke the mould. He launched "ready-to-wear" collections, bringing high fashion to the middle classes. His designer peers were aghast, and threw him out of their club.

In the 1950s, men wore traditional suits which made the young look like their fathers. Cardin threw out the boxy jackets and stiff white shirts, creating a revolutionary look for a new, progressive generation.

Gone were the bulky details; collars, lapels, tails and cuffs. Trousers were tapered and hung loosely on the hips.

For NFL fans, this is a shocker. Kevin Greene, much feared defensive player who was 3rd all time in sacks(160), gone at only 58

RIP Tommy Docherty 

Proud to have been part of Doc's Red Army back in the day. The season we had in the old 2nd division was as enjoyable as the Treble for me. 13 years old going to games with my school mates on a Bostock coach from Macclesfield. Queuing up to get in the Stretford End 3 hours before kickoff. Fearless attacking football, flying wingers, deafening support and that unbelievable feeling of bullet proof togetherness.

MUFC one love

Former England & Man City footballer Colin Bell has died aged 74.

I saw him play for England a few times in the 70's and he was really good.

RIP Nijinsky

Ditto saw him when Man City came to West Ham and Arsenal when eh was in his prime. One of the greatest players I have ever seen. RIP Nijinsky indeed.1336.jpg.webp

I loved his documentary series 7Up and the rest that followed 

The British director Michael Apted has died at the age of 79.

The film-maker and documentarian was known for films such as Gorillas in the Mist and Coal Miner’s Daughter, as well as his long-running series of Up documentaries.

How sad , really enjoy ( and find sad) his Up documentary and he started that at age 23, and I believe it’s one of the most powerful social documentaries you can watch. RIP
