The Mondrian Dress Heads to the Block

An auction house is preparing to bring the Mondrian Dress to sale, offering collectors a rare shot at a garment famous enough to need no other name. The piece takes its identity straight from Piet Mondrian's grid paintings, translated into a shape as recognizable to design lovers as the canvases that inspired it. For collectors who track fashion the way others track paintings or furniture, its arrival at auction counts as a genuine event.
