PRIVATE SHOW: Pierre Cardin wants to show the naughty side of Hokusai.
On Oct. 16, the couturier will unveil “Le silence de l’amour” (“The Silence of Love”) – an exhibition of 22 erotic prints by the famed Japanese artist, who is also the subject of a show at the Grand Palais in Paris. The exhibit at the Espace Pierre Cardin is set to last through the end of the year.
Cardin will also put on sale a limited-edition box set containing reproductions of all 22 illustrations, which are his personal property.
