Fashion Culture: ‘Mondrian’s Dress’ with Ann Marguerite Tartsinis, Nancy J. Troy, Colleen Hill

Nancy J. Troy and Ann Marguerite Tartsinis, authors of Mondrian’s Dress, will discuss Yves Saint Laurent’s wildly popular 1965 Mondrian dress series with MFIT Curator of Costume and Accessories Colleen Hill. They will examine the significance of these designs on the French couturier’s career, their impact on Piet Mondrian’s posthumous reception, and how they resonate with the art of Roy Lichtenstein, Tom Wesselmann, and Andy Warhol.

A book signing will follow the event.
