marimekko love

I have always been profoundly intrigued by Marimekko. No matter whether the patterns are classic geometric style or of the more modern organic influence, the design is undeniable bold. Lately, I have taken a keen interest in one of their newer designers and the vitality that his creations bring to the house.

Samu-Jussi Koski has created a series of sophisticated and playful clothes utilizing classic patterns from the likes of Maija Isola and Anneli Qveflander. There just something so Holly Golightly about it all, and it makes me smile.

I'm dying to get my hands on several items from the winter collection, and I will be posting about that very soon.
