Designer Pierre Cardin skips US fashion show after accident

Jun 15, 2017 | 1:15 PM

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Fashion designer Pierre Cardin said he won’t be able to attend a fashion show in the United States because of an unspecified accident.

The 94-year-old designer was scheduled to host the show in Newport, Rhode Island, on Saturday to celebrate an exhibition of his designs.

“I regretfully inform you that I will not be able to travel to Newport due to a recent accident,” Cardin said in a statement issued on Thursday by the Preservation Society of Newport County, adding “The show must go on.”

The group said Cardin would “deliver a personal message from Paris” during the show.

The show will feature more than 80 looks from Cardin’s career. It is being held at The Breakers, the 70-room Gilded Age mansion built by the Vanderbilts.
