Jokapoika Dress
Kioski cotton shirt dress
Color: multicolor lilac
The Jokapoika shirt dress is made of organic cotton, and it has a relaxed, straight fit. The dress features the Piccolo pattern, which is printed in Helsinki. The dress has a pointed collar, a metal button closure, short sleeves, and a chest pocket. The tricolored dress has orange sleeves, a green chest pocket, and a light lilac body.
In 1953, the very year she joined Marimekko, Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi created Piccolo, a striped fabric pattern painted with vivid brushstrokes. Three years later, the Jokapoika (every boy) shirt made from the fabric appeared in stores and the streets – for good, it seems.
