Modern Art inspired silhouettes S/S 06

[Kimkhuu]

Ok... i really cannot find words to describe this trend.... ..so i have a bunch of pics to support my concept... perhaps someone could help me with the name of this trend.... because i just made that title up... I feel this trend is very cute,... basically it is clean lines layered or printed in color blocks on clothing..... ...if my description makes any sense....

And the clothes are supposed to be cut in really clean modern lines....

I love this. Really do. I've been calling it Bauhaus-inspired, and so has style.com so I can't be all wrong... but perhaps 'modern-art-inspired' would allow more room for error...

Jonathan Saunders does this every season, of course , so we'll all pretend we didn't see it coming :

I think this Jojo & Malou fits the bill, it may be a stretch though:

some of it (the primary colors and lines) looks mondrian-y to me (have any of you ever heard the term "mon-drian" used to discribe someone's fashion sense? this isn't necessarily what i think they were referring to, but i can see what you're talking about here kimkhuu). very modern art inspired...sharp, diagonal lines, bright colors...if i were spotting this trend, i might find other things...i'll look for some!

thanks for visualising your concepts with us kim!

mondrian was an abstract/modern art-y painter..i know you've seen his work before:

faculty.evansville.edu

or were you specifically referring to the slang term i posted (mon-drian)? i haven't heard it used too much, but i liked it too...it seems so mod to me..the whole concept, though this is a bit different.

I think we need a word here that describes the "fluidity" of the actual shapes and a word that describes the actual "color blocks". I think we are used to seeing this color schemes with more constructed looks, but it's hard to place a word to marry the too.
I would say deconstructed modernism, things softening up.

Oh, no wonder I liked it... there could've been worse reasons
