This year Marimekko celebrates the 50th anniversary of their most iconic pattern, Unikko.

Maija Isola’s classic Unikko (Poppy) pattern was born in 1964.

The company’s founder Armi Ratia had announced that Marimekko would never print a floral pattern. Maija refused to obey Armi’s orders and, in protest, designed an entire collection of floral patterns. One of them was Unikko.

Visit the Unikko 50th anniversary site. It is an explosion of colours. I love it 🙂 .

Painted Skies. Feel ravishing wearing the Tyrnihillo dress; it showcases a new lush print resembling a collage made from painted paper shapes. It has a round neckline with a hidden rear zip closure, cap sleeves, chest darts and a below-knee hemline with a sexy back slit. The cut is straight, but two side interior elasticized band at the waistline makes Tyrnihillo more fitted and extremely flattering. The woven fabric is made of 97% cotton, 3% elastane.

Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi’s Nadja print is a true classic. The delicate, Slavic-style pattern has delighted since the ’60s, whether in Marimekko’s tiny coin purses or behind the popping colors of our Iloinen takki coatdresses. The Kurkistus tunic is a whimsical addition to our collection of happy coats.

Marimekko lommekjoleI have had this dress for more than 5 years now. And I have used it a lot. I wear it all year round. In the summer with sandals, in the spring with tights, in the autumn with a black t-shirt under and in the winther with a woolen t-shirt under and long black boots. The dress is a classic. People come talk to me when I wear it. It brings memories to them. Maybe their mother wore this dress when they were kids, maybe they had the dress themselves when they were young and so on.

Newly married Vuokko Eskolin – Nurmesniemi wanted a dress with pockets in which you could hide little presents and messages from loved ones. In 1960, she designed such a dress. Soon everybody wanted one – mothers and daughters and even granddaughters.

Marimekko sort-hvid kjoleJeg kan virkelig, virkelig godt lide denne kjole. Når man som jeg elsker mønstre, elsker man også Marimekko. For de forstår bare at lave flotte mønstre. Denne kjole har så også bådhals og 3/4 ærmer, som jeg elsker. Og bindebæltet giver en feminin silhuet. Længden er også bare lige i øjet.

Square Fusions. Searching for that one dress you can slip at a moment’s notice and always look smashing? Behold the gorgeous Rasti dress. It has a round neckline, drop shoulders, and three-quarter sleeves. Its loose cut tapers slightly towards the knee-length hemline and the matching belt can be tied for a more fitted look. Rasti can be dressed up or down; pair it with any shoe style, from flats to stilettos. Made of 95% viscose, 5% elastane.
