For reasons unknown, the Mondrian-inspired clothes just keeps rolling in -
First, a reader sent in the DVF dress at left in response to yesterday’s Mondrian-inspired finds. Then, Kyle sent us a text saying that he spotted a Mondrian-inspired Louboutin in the window of the FIT museum.
And in our Inbox this morning? A Mondrian-inspired tee from Topman.
What’s next, color-blocked sunglasses from Marc?

It's fitting that this is popping up at the time of YSL's death, since he's the originator of this artistic/fashion fusion.

i live in paris, and the Piet Mondrian stuff on exhibit at Pompidou blows you away in real life ... I love that his prints have found their way into fashion at several points over the past decades. I actually kind of love all De Stijl.
Next up in my DVF dress fantasy: van Doesburg's Arithmetische Compositie - gorgeous!

This is a cool look for a tshirt, and maybe a cardigan. Perhaps a chunky plastic bangle.
But a Louboutin? Ahem ..

Last March, a few designers embraced the one off ad. Ads are expensive, and if you've got the momentum of a Rodarte or a Phillip Lim, unnecessary (for now). Unless of course the economy tanks. One of the designers who gave the idea a shot, Zac Posen, shot this ad… Read More
I know a bit about clothes and maybe kind of a lot about shoes, but when it came to sunglasses, I was clueless. Until last week when I spent the morning at Silver Lining Opticians. It's a hole in the wall on Thompson Street run by Jordan Silver and Erik… Read More

This probably sounds silly, but i specifically remember one of the dancers from the 60's scenes in Austin Powers wearing a dress with the Mondrian print.
