'\"Italian by birth, Pierre Cardin never forgot his origins while bringing unconditional love to France,\" said his family in a statement Paris: French fashion designer Pierre Cardin, hailed for his visionary creations but also for bringing stylish clothes to the masses, died Tuesday aged 98, his family told news agency AFP. Pierre Cardin, who was born to a low-income family in northern Italy but became a France-based fashion superstar, died in a hospital in Neuilly in the west of Paris, his family said. \"It is a day of great sadness for all our family. Pierre Cardin is no more,\" the statement said. It said after a lifetime spanning a century he had left France and the world a \"great unique artistic heritage\" and not only in fashion. Born into poverty in 1922 near Venice in northern Italy, his family emigrated to France when he was a small child. \"Italian by birth, Pierre Cardin never forgot his origins while bringing unconditional love to France,\" said his family. - From apprentice to global empire - He grew up in the French industrial town of Saint Etienne and was apprenticed to a tailor in Vichy at the age of 17, already specialising in women\'s suits. Moving to Paris, he designed the mesmerising sets and costumes for the film \"Beauty and the Beast\" with poet, artist and director Jean Cocteau in 1947. After a stint with Christian Dior, he had already set up his own fashion label in 1950. He quickly established a name as an innovator, creating the now legendary bubble dress in 1954.  #PierreCardin #RIP #FashionDesigner'
