Jackie O. first put Finnish textile brand
Marimekko on the map when she wore their brightly-patterned dresses during JFK's 1960 presidential campaign. H&M decided to honor that tradition by digging into the vibrant Marimekko archives and bringing back the bold retro prints for their
Tribute to Marimekko collection, in stores April 10.
Swimsuits, dresses, scarves, tops, and bottoms will all be available in vivid color combos like red and pink, olive and orange, and red and turquoise.
Manolo Blahnik Inspired by Marimekko Patterns Manolo Blahnik, one of the world's most prominent fashion designers in women's shoes, translates Marimekko Mini-Unikko and BonBon patterns into one of his favorite themes for his Spring/Summer 2008 collection. The collection took influences as diverse as the architecture of Constantinople and Finnish Marimekko patterns.
