The Next Big Thing: Mondrian Mania

The Next Big Thing: Mondrian Mania

It’s time to get squared away ready for Fall with a totally unique Mondrian inspired outfit!  In late 1919, Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, became renowned for his grid-based paintings using three primary colors. His paintings express general beauty and are still highly influential in abstract cubism. Check out our picks from up-and-coming independent designers found on Esty that we love almost as much as Mr. Mondrian himself!

twill

Cube it up with YMI’s Skinny Twill pants in grey plaid to get things started.

blue top

Continue the grid effect with this killer 2.pac top by Joodito. The Boston native who calls herself a “retro futurist” makes tops and scarves from salvaged materials. All of her garments are one of a kind, and are born from experimental methods. Seriously… we think we’re in love.

ring

Accessorize perfectly with this Mondrian inspired retro ring by New Zealand designer, lrjewellery.  While studying jewelry making in NZ, she discovered eye-catching results when transforming acrylic and resin into fabulously fashionable trinkets. In fact, this exact ring has been published in art books and she was even commissioned by the Prime Minister of NZ to make a custom pair of Mondrian earrings and ring!

yellow clutch

Give this artfully minded outfit a pop of primary color with this vibrant yellow clutch from tenthstreetsaks. Made of soft vinyl and sewn to give a 3D effect, at just $20 it’s such a steal that makes the perfect statement…I’m HOT!

Now, channel your inner Mondrian and rock this outfit like its 1919…er, I mean Fall 2009!

    Great post Steph! You have some very, very nice Mondrian finds there. I bought a set of Piet Mondrian button badges recently. I pinned three to my scarf and the rest are sitting in a frame beside my bed. So cute! Peep em here http://www.discomagnet.com/piet-mondrian-button-badge-set/
