Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how fine art is received in fashion, and to contributeto the development of a creative fashion culture. In order to do this examination, this study focuseson the formative ideas of De Stijl which appeared in the early 20th century. In addition,this study presents examples of today’s fashion that still reflects the formative ideas of De Stijl. The De stijl movement did not last for a long time, but it has had significant influence on modernart, and has been a source of inspiration to fashion designers since the Mondrian look waspresented by Yves Saint Laurent in 1965. The study on the basis of De Stijl such as Neo-Plasticism of Piet Mondrian and Elementalismof Theo van Doesburg, has been conducted in this study. As a result, this study presents formativecharacteristics of the De Stijl group in fashion as follows: First, contemporary fashion designershave searched for proportion and thickness of lines and the side split using lines, a stylistictrait of an artist in the De Stijl group. Second, color scheme defined by the De Stijl grouphas been applied with modification to contemporary fashion. Modification and selective choice ofthe limited colors are for a contemporaneous style. Third, formative ideas of De Stijl, whichstrives to achieve the vision of Utopia, has turned up in contemporary fashion as a simple andminimal silhouette. Contemporary fashion has enhanced their aesthetic value by deriving not only a superficial expressionbut also plastic principle and philosophy from De stijl. It can be regarded as the fashion’sideal way to embrace style of art and it might be so described as a key to edifying artisticand creative attributes of fashion.
