As a fashion history diva, I am very pleased to model this Luxe Paris Mondrian Dress.
This dress aptly recalls the A Line Mondrian Dress originally
designed by the French fashion designer Yves Saint Lauren
designed by the French fashion designer Yves Saint Lauren
during the mid century modern era of the 1960’s.
This style ran as a collection of six cocktail dresses from 1960 to 1965.
It was first inspired by the abstract paintings of Piet Mondrian.
Piet Mondrian’s artwork has been a source of inspiration for fashion and
interior designers for decades ever since.
The collection's trademark were in the use of primary color blocking and
straight lines. Mondrian allowed his work to be used as backgrounds to
fashion shoots in popular women’s magazines, furthering the aesthetic
and making it quite recognizable within the fashion circles.
Not only did it make an historical case for the artists that followed this aesthetic,
it clearly also demonstrated a feat of dressmaking - creating the appearance of
the Mondrian order which indiscernibly hid all the shaping in the grid of its seams.
This is a geometric flatness referred to as two-dimensional “planarity” design.
As the sack dress evolved in the 1960s into the shift dress, Yves Saint Laurent
realized that this two-dimensional planarity design was an ideal field for color
blocks, making the historical case for the artistic sensibility of his time.
To pay homage to this dress, I wore my hair in a Bob style with a red beret,
short Jackey O' gloves and high knee boots all of which trended during the 1960s.
Luxe Paris also includes this delightful matching Mondrain patterned handbag
which goes well and completes with this look.
