Mondrian on the Catwalk – From Canvas to Clothing

Mondrian. The name immediately brings to mind bold lines, primary colors, and a radically new approach to composition. But did you know his iconic style has inspired the fashion world for decades?

From Painting to Dress

In 1965, Yves Saint Laurent made history with his famous Mondrian dresses. Inspired by the work of Piet Mondrian, he transformed abstract art into haute couture. These dresses have become icons—just like the paintings themselves.

The Power of Simplicity

What makes Mondrian so perfect for fashion? It’s the balance between structure and playfulness. The blocks of red, blue, yellow, and white—framed by bold black lines—create a look that’s both minimal and striking.

At one1000paintings, we celebrate this aesthetic with our own collection of clothing pieces inspired by Mondrian’s work. Think all-over printed shirts, skirts, dresses, and pants with that unmistakable design.
