# Iconic Painting-Inspired Fashion The Christopher Kane Resort 2014 Collection is Inspired by Mondri By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-07-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christopher-kane-resort-2014 References: [wwd](http://www.wwd.com/runway/resort-2014/review/christopher-kane) & [style](http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/2014RST-CKANE/) The Christopher Kane [Resort 2014 collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection) uses a palette of primary colors and shapes that you’d see in a Piet Mondrian painting. The garments play with a mix of striped elements and lacy weaves that seem to reveal quite a bit of the wearer’s body below. The garments take inspiration from [flat De Stijl-like imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear) and transform them to look more like [computer-generated wireframe forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated). Although Mondrian’s art and computer graphics can be very sharp and geometric, this collection has a softness to it. Lace-like textures and the inclusion of shapes like florals and the female form lend to the delicacy of the collection, which provide a contrast to the brightly saturated colors of the dresses. This is a beautiful mix of natural and man-made inspirations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Primary Colors in Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate bold primary colors and geometric shapes into their designs, inspired by iconic paintings like Mondrian. - **Mixing Textures in Fashion:** Fashion designers can explore the combination of lace-like textures and structured elements to create garments that exhibit both softness and sharpness. - **Art-inspired Computer Graphics in Fashion:** Fashion brands can experiment with incorporating computer-generated wireframe forms and flat imagery inspired by both iconic paintings and digital art. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for fashion brands to incorporate artistic inspiration and experiment with new textures and forms in their designs. - **Art:** Opportunity for artists to collaborate with fashion brands to create collections inspired by iconic paintings, bringing art beyond traditional mediums. - **Digital Design:** Chance for digital designers to explore the fusion of art and technology by creating computer-generated wireframe forms and flat imagery for fashion brands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md) - [Stylish City-Inspired Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Worldly Paint Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-collection-for-men.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Artwork-Inspired Strategy Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mondrian-color-in-motion.md)
