Courrèges Wool Color Block Patent Leather Mondrian Mini Dress, 1960s

One of the most iconic designers of the 1960s, André Courrèges is easily recognizable by his Space Age inspired styles. Combining stark white with bold color blocking, Courrèges’ style captured an imagination of the future in a modest, pop-art aesthetic.

Employing a complimentary color scheme of violet and yellow, this wool color blocked dress softens the rich hue contrast with a white panel and black patent leather trim dividing all of the blocks and accenting the cuffs and hem. With a dropped waistline, the dress is fitted through almost invisible side panels giving this dress a soft shape throughout the torso.

Falling just below the knee, the skirt portion flares with a mild A-line creating a feminine yet profession silhouette. A blast from the past, this Courrèges dress is a vivid and fun vintage addition to the modern woman’s wardrobe.
