The name Cardinal is kept from thousands of products, from wristwatch to bed sheets.
However, his fame suffered a dramatic decline in recent years, as his products were viewed as cheap, and his clothing had remained unchanged from styles of the '60s, writes The Guardian, records Periscope.
The Academy of Fine Arts announced his death by posting on Twitter a little earlier. However, they were given no cause for death or location of where he died.
Cardin and Frenchman Andre Courreges and Spaniard Paco Rabanne are considered to have revolutionized fashion in the early 1950 ' s.
“Moda is always ridiculous if viewed by the past or the future. But in the moment, it's amazing,” said Cardin in an interview in 1970.
Cardinal was born on July 7, 1922, in a small town near Venice, Italy, to a poor working class family. /Periscope
