This is a dress I created about a year ago that fits the bill for this weeks Project Run and Play theme, but it's too old so I can't officially put it up. It's a dress inspired by the Mondrian Dress by Yves St Laurent, who was inspired by the painting of Piet Mondrian.
If I wasn't busy doing things like redecorating my kitchen, altering recital dance costumes for the dance school where my daughters take dance and really just keeping up with my life, I think I'd use some of my favorite paintings of young girls as inspiration.
Or maybe I'd just use these paintings as inspiration for color.
Farm Garden--Gustav Klimt
So what would you use for your inspiration?
aaahh, such a cute little Sophie and an awesome dress too. Too bad it was made too long ago to link. You have some greatinspiration and i wish you had time to sew something up but your plate sounds like it is overflowing!!
ReplyDeleteI thought about Picasso and Van Gogh first, but then I went with Victoria Francés.
ReplyDeleteDid Twiggy wear a similar dress?? It seems familiar to me - when I was googling the many looks of Twiggy for another season's PR&P entry.... I'm glad you posted this nonetheless! We 'sat' this week out, but are loving the art inspiration others are offering.
ReplyDeleteI totally thought of your Mondrian dress for the Inspired by Art challenge !
ReplyDeleteIt's an unforgettable one.
What a fabulous Mondrian dress!
ReplyDeleteBack in my 20's in the 90's I used to always watch Elsa Klench on CNN - I loved her! I was always so thrilled when the designers she was reporting on explained how their inspiration came from this art movement or that artist....since I actually studied art history but would have loved to have studied fashion.
That is a really cute dress!
ReplyDeleteI think maybe I would do a dress from a painting reproduction we have of a Midsummer's Night Dream. It is a flowy cream dress.
I am totally going to miss out on the PRP season this time if I don't get busy to get at least ONE thing done. I am hoping to get some sewing time in on Friday, but we shall see!
I remember this dress well. I love it.
