![]() ![]() Pierre Cardin was the symbol of freedom in the fashion industry he fiercely favored the freedom of men and women. This move is now followed by almost all famous fashion designers. Pierre Cardin was one of the first designers who started the trend of licensing his name on various products for branding. He opened his fashion stores across the globe, especially reaching the Asian market previously untapped by European or Western designers. This influence led him to work with the Japanese model Hiroko Matsumoto, and many of his designs bore the influence of Japanese fashion. During his stay in Japan, he learned about Japanese fashion and grew a deep respect for the culture. In 1957 he was invited to Japan’s Bunka Fukosa College to teach his three-dimensional cut techniques. He found deep inspiration from the Nehru Jacket that featured trimmer pockets and a high mandarin collar. ![]() Merging Eastern esthetics to Western fashion was perhaps one of the most important contributions of Pierre Cardin fashions. Pierre Cardin fashions designed unisex jackets and coats with outlandish shoulders, also known as ‘pagoda shoulders’, which became the trend of the 1960s. His unisex designs were an effort to free people, especially women, from cliche stereotypes. He introduced biomorphic dresses opposite to the hourglass silhouette. Pierre Cardin fashions made a breakthrough with the experimental unisex designs breaking the stereotypes of the 1950s. This trend later became famous worldwide and persists to the day. Pierre, with this move, made designer clothes available for the masses. It was a bold move by Pierre as during that time selling designer clothes in the open market was looked down upon by the fashion industry. He introduced his ready-to-wear collection at Printemps, a Parisian departmental store, in 1958. Pierre Cardin was one of the first designers in the world to introduce a readymade fashion collection.Īccording to Pierre, it was ready-to-wear fashion that saved his career as a designer. Pierre Cardin’s fashions also led the foundation of men’s athletic wear, which again paved the way to modern casual wear. His menswear designs included collarless suit jackets, cylinder pants, and jackets. But in 1958, Pierre Cardin created the first-ever men’s fashion show in Paris. ![]() Before Cardin, men primarily relied on tailors for their apparel needs. Pierre Cardin fashions were known for bringing menswear fashions into the market. He used this fabric for designs to give shape to his famous three-dimensional cuts. ![]() Pierre used dynel fabric to make these space-age collections and later marketed them under his name Cardin. Pierre Cardin’s space-age fashions influenced not only next-generation fashion designers but also numerous filmmakers. His futuristic designs became so famous that he became the only civilian to put on the spacesuit from Apollo 11 worn by Buzz Aldrin. He infused geometric designs, modular forms, oversized zippers, goggles, visors, helmets and used vinyl and plastic in his designs. The space race of the 1960s influenced Pierre to bring forth the world of the space age unisex look. Pierre Cardin fashions were famous for the futuristic space designs, which put him on the world map. In this article, we will discuss how Pierre Cardin evolved the fashion look of the 1950s and 1960s and how he influenced modern fashion. He brought high fashion to the average person and was noted by many as the trademark of affordable quality. But what makes Cardin such a legend was his novel idea of making luxury goods available to the masses. Pierre Cardin’s fashions were known as the symbol of luxury and elegance. He even worked with Jean Costeau in his Beauty and the Beast production in 1946. In 1946, he joined Christian Dior as a tailor.Īnd in 1950, Pierre Cardin started his own company, designing masks and costumes for theatre. At 17 years of age, he went to France to become a tailor at a men’s shop. Son of a wealthy wine merchant, Pierre developed a keen interest in tailoring and dressmaking. Icons like Jackie Kennedy and the Beatles donned his designed clothes. Pierre Cardin was a creative visionary whose work paved the way to the world of modern fashion. The Italian French designer’s imaginative mind challenged conventions with experimentations at every step of his fashion designing life. Pierre Cardin Fashions introduced a new world of designs and clothes. “Fashion has to be for tomorrow, not yesterday,” Pierre Cardin, the pioneer of high fashion and a true visionary, led to the evolution of what we understand about fashion today. ![]()

Unlike the Longshot CS-12, this "Elite Repaint" re-release comes packaged with all its original accessories. ![]() The same year, the yellow Longshot was re-released with new packaging and Elite Darts.Īnother re-release came in 2015. The CS-12 notably lacks the front blaster and the integrated bi-pod, but still is the same blaster as the yellow Longshot. Because of continued high demand of the blaster, and the shortage the discontiuation created, prices on websites like eBay skyrocketed, sometimes even matching the typical mint price for the 1994 Nerf Action Crossbow.Īnother spiritual successor to the Longshot was released in 2013, as the N-Strike Mega Centurion.įive years after its last version was released, the Longshot was re-released as the Z.E.D. The blaster was notably discontinued in the United States in mid- 2010, possibly due to the release of the Longstrike CS-6, which may have acted as a follow-up or successor to it. The Red Strike Longshot released in 2009 as a part of a Black Friday deal at Walmart stores. It has been re-released five times, starting in 2007 with a new, yellow color scheme this version of the Longshot notably only came packaged with one clip, rather than two.

It advertises a firing range of up to thirty-five feet (10.6 meters). It is believed that there is a difference in the breech between the two versions, resulting in a failure of the original Longshot to fire Elite Darts and allowing the newer version to do otherwise. This is not the case for the later, yellow variant of the Longshot. While most N-Strike blasters can fire Elite Darts, the original version of the Longshot has difficulty firing them without modifications. Two strap points are built into the blaster, one above the muzzle and one against the back of the carry handle. The blaster's jam door is located under the carry handle, which can be slid open to provide an access point for jams when the blaster is half-primed. The folding legs allow the blaster to be used against a flat surface, which can be helpful when the blaster is at its full length. ![]() The Longshot also features a carry handle with a tactical rail built atop it, a set of folding bipod legs, and an integrated shoulder stock that can be extended out, to additionally make the blaster longer. This is due to the included front blaster, which connects to the Longshot with the use of its barrel extension attachment point.
