House of Cardin is a biographical documentary that excels in disrupting traditional sartorial hierarchies. Through Pierre Cardin's archives, the film examines how fashion can challenge rigid gender norms and binary silhouettes. However, the film remains anchored in the Eurocentric structures of the high-fashion industry. While it touches on global influence, it lacks a deeper understanding of broader social diversity. Ultimately, the film is an exploration of aesthetic evolution rather than a progressive social commentary. It succeeds in showcasing changes in fashion but offers limited engagement with broader social diversity.
