Inspired by his interest in computer design, Pierre Cardin created the “Computer” coat in 1980. His coat featured fins on the back, similar to those Cardin had seen on his visits to computer labs. The “Computer” coat’s pleats also evoked the design of functional cooling vents, which were found along the edges of computer models in the 1970s and 80s.
