De Stijl (also known as neoplastic-ism) was a Dutch artistic movement. It was found in 1917 by artists Theo van Doesburg and Piet Mondrian. They attempted to create a utopian ideal by turning objects into a abstracted image that utilized horizontal and vertical lines as well as the use of primary colours. De Stijl artists were not concerned with representing the true form of the object.
PIET MONDRIAN
Piet Mondrian was a Dutch artist who helped establish the De Stijl movement and developed his own style of painting. His abstract way of painting depicted bright primary colours blocked of by black bars.

Piet Mondrian's well-known work soon mixed with the fashion world, even during his life as an artist. Mondrian allowed his work to be featured as back drops of fashion shoots in popular magazines, so the aesthetics began to be quite recognisable in the fashion world.

Yves Saint Laurent released a iconic A-line dress inspired by Piet Mondrian during the Autumn season of 1965, called the 'Mondrian Dress.' It was a well known piece in the 60's because of the graphic white lines, spaces and primary colours.
This dress featured on the cover of French Vogue in September 1965 and since then many copies have been made and produced.
