From Paul Smith's Autumn collection:

... inspiration straight from 71/72 (?)
I would say it's from Piet Mondrian's "Composition A" in 1923 , elwood.
Glad not to accept any responsibility for the PS homage.

I admit I had a couple of fairly sedate 'South Sea Bubble' crew necks - but did see a few very bad versions back then, too.

The above example would certainly fall into the latter camp - IMHO. :slayer:

Agreed, Ed. My recollection of South Sea versions was of more pastel shades. PS' version's a demented Battenberg by comparison.

What i know about Art elwood ,you could write on the back of a postage stamp ! I just happen to know Mondrian (specifically this work) as his work has been plundered and plagerised by so many over the years and has been seen in everything from 60's fashion to furniture.

Reminds me of a fast food restaurant we have here Hot Dog on a Stick the girls still to this day wear those 60's influenced uniforms.

Ah, but if you get caught with a fu** off big chib, you'll say anything. :satisfied:

As for the TV report, well, it is the east of England so all the TVs were gas-powered and ran five years' behind the rest of the UK. :happy:

(Ducks and runs for cover!!!) :D
