This rewrite of the page was prompted by an email from Kathy Skirmont who drew my attention to a reference in one of the Austin Powers films, fig 1.
In addition, Kathy notes I recently recreated the dress for a skit at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, fig 2.
Terrific.
1965 Mondrian St.Laurent Eberstadt photo
Vintage and original 9.5 x 14 " photograph on heavy double weight gallery paper. Isabel Eberstadt in St. Laurent dress inspired by Mondrian. Photographed in Paris by famous photographer Frederick Eberstadt and so marked on back. The only flaw is the engraving office time date stamp from the magazine on the back left a impression that slightly is raised on the front otherwise fine condition.
2. (25th October 2001)
This original photograph is by Christoph Sillem of model Alec Wek. The description on the rear states Alec is wearing a "Mondrian" Haute Couture Hiver outfit from 1965. The photo was submitted to the International Festival of Fashion and Photography in the late 1990's. Measures approx. 8 x 10 inches, is without color and is in perfect condition.

Another image from the Eberstadt session.
Described on ebay as from the Rogers Photo Archive, 1965. Quite sensibly priced, although the postage to the UK is scandalous.

Mondrian YSL Doll
By gum, I would like one of these.
YVES SAINT LAURENT Enamel Lead Fashion Doll
Each Box measures 4-1/4" wide and 3-1/2" high and is 1-3/4" deep. The box was designed as a display for the doll listed. the shiny area on the back is intended as a mirror. The Designer of the costume shown is printed on the paper on the backdrop. They were made in France and purchased in the late 1980's or early 1990's. Each is a cast lead figure painted with enamel paint, and represents a design by a Famous Designer. The one shown is "Yves St. Laurent" and titled "d'apres Mondrian", designed in by St. Laurent in 1965. Please see our other listings as we are listing quite of few of these, all with different designers. They have never been displayed and are in very good condition.
I might try to fake one. 20th April 2002 - managed to pick one up from a French seller at a far more reasonable price.

NWT Piet Mondrian Silk Scarf with Earrings MoMa
MoMA Presents this Ensemble in the tradition of Piet Mondrian
The earrings are now here.
o Christian Dior "Miss Dior" silk twill scarf . Miss Dior was introduced as a fragrance in 1947 by Dior and we have found a couple of sixties and seventies garments with the label. So, it was also used for clothing. This scarf is perhaps an accessory or homage to one of Diors most well known creations of the 1960s. A shift dress printed with this same Mondrian-esque pattern. The dress is a rare and much sought after item. We once found a very good knock off but the original is still on our list of 'must find' ! Hand rolled hem. Logo in design lower right. A couple of watermarks and a small stain. Some very small thin areas and pinholes. The shadows you see in the golden areas etc are just that; shadows. Overall impression is however quite nice. 22" square (56cm X 56cm)

It is knee-length: 38” long from back of neck. Bust 42” - Waist 38” - Hips 42”.

NOW THAT WE ARE LISTING ON EBAY ITALIA, PLEASE BE SURE TO CLICK ON THE "SELLER'S OTHER AUCTIONS" BUTTON ABOVE TO SEE WHAT ELSE WE ARE SELLING!
Ciao from bella Italia, home of La Dolce Vita! Italian designer Prili from Rome has decided to begin selling part of his private collection of women's gowns, dresses, shoes, jewellery, etc. exclusively here on ebay. He has over 2,000 dresses from his own personal label as well as famous world class designers such as Brioni and Dior, to name a couple. We would like to name them all, but ebay frowns upon the use of another's name.
Prili's collection inlcudes items from Jackie Kennedy, Joan Crawford, Audrey Hepburn, Lana Turner, Rita Hayworth, Sanrda Dee, Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly and Italian classics like Mina, Sophia Loren and Rita Pavone. Some of these items were obtained outright from the actresses themselves, while others were obtained from the family's movie studios here in Rome. A large collection that takes up too much space, so it's time to share. Some are new, others used in fashion shows, others vintage. Unless otherwise noted, they are in good wearable condition with no noticeable flaws, tears, discoloration or other defects.
This is a lovely Brioni vintage dress. Original black and white Mondrian style design. Cotton. Measures 13.5 inches between shoulders, 36 inch chest, and 39 inches long. Brioni tag.
This is the best hat I have found so far, on Google Images.

I think this chap(?) shares my passion
Le Coq Sportif Mondrian Jersey - Rare!
This is an authentic Le Coq Mondrian Jersey! This is the same print/material that the La Vie Claire Tour de France team wore. Bernard Hinault and Greg LeMond wore this. The difference with this jersey is it is not plastered with sponsors all over it. It has the Le Coq logos and says "Le Coq Sportif" front/back. The side panels read "equipe" and "america". It is a silky smooth material with a shiny finish unique to Le Coq. It has 3 back pockets. Beautiful and timeless design.

I'll not bother buying this one, but a Mondrian suit pattern would be another kettle of fish.
