MARIMEKKO DRESSES

The Polkue button-up dress is made of cotton poplin in the Silkkikuikka pattern, which is printed in Helsinki. The dress has metal buttons, a chest pocket, and a separate belt. The sleeve ends have single-button cuffs with slits and the hemline has a rounded cut.

“I was dancing with brushes,” said Maija Isola. In 1961, she spent many evenings and nights working in Marimekko’s print factory – painting in gentle, sweeping brushstrokes to the sway of music. Meter upon meter of new patterns emerged. On one of those nights, Silkkikuikka (great crested grebe), a pattern of alluring rhythm and simplicity, saw daylight.

The Musta Tamma (black mare) pattern reflects Maija Isola’s recollections of her childhood when she often imagined that she was running free in the woods together with a big herd of horses.

The Heinikkö button-up dress is made of cotton twill in the Pieni Unikko pattern, which is printed in Helsinki. The dress has a short button list, short loose sleeves, and patch pockets in the front. The sleeves and the hemline feature raw edges. The dress comes with a separate belt.

Marimekko’s famous poppy pattern Unikko was born in 1964 in a time when the design house’s collections featured mostly abstract prints. Designer Maija Isola wanted to create something interesting from this organic theme and designed an entire range of floral prints. Today, the iconic flower represents creativity.
