\u2018Those stripes a very pretty, I like this painting too, but should I look this way or that? I\u2019m not sure what to do!\u2019 Miffy once said. She is a fan of the work of Piet Mondrian. Just like Michael Barnaart, who in turn is a fan of Dick Bruna\u2019s best-known brainchild. With a brooch by Miffy in his famous Mondrian dress, the fashion designer brings about a logical but unique meeting between two of the most influential artists from the modern Dutch design tradition.<\/p>\n
\u201cDick Bruna\u2019s work is one of my earliest childhood memories; Miffy hung above my bed as a poster, \u201dsays Barnaart. \u201cThe apparent simplicity, the strong lines and the striking colors are important sources of inspiration for my designs. The same elements struck me later in Mondrian\u2019s work. \u201d When his Mondrian dress conquered the world at international exhibitions in 2011, the designer Bruna wrote a letter thanking him for his inspiration. \u201cHis handwritten response is still in my boutique,\u201d \u200b\u200bhe beams. \u201cA collaboration with Miffy has been high on my wish list ever since. Now that the Mondrian dress has been around for exactly ten years, the right time has come.\u201d<\/p>\n
