I've been watching La Roux's Bulletproof on repeat -- mainly due to this Piet Mondrian inspired jacket. After a number of google searches, I tracked down where to purchase it (on Yoox), but unfortunately it was out of my price range at nearly $300. The designer of the jacket is JC de Castelbajac -- I was first aware of him when Lady Gaga wore his Kermit coat and initially thought his work was a bit too gaudy and excessive (well, maybe I still think that way...). Anyway, for this music video they had to tape over the original green pocket because it was filmed on a green screen. I actually much prefer this modification since Mondrian's squares were painted only in the primary colors and I love that geometrical color balance in his work. Here's a slight close up of the jacket.
 
Also, check out these Mondrian inspired nails. So cool! I need to try that and post it sometime.
