Marimekko Pre-Spring 2021
The art of printmaking collection
It’s time to celebrate Marimekko’s artistic heritage with a future-oriented attitude – the common threads running through our new collection are abstract art and geometry. Light, effortless dresses and other easy-to-wear pieces reflect a futuristic play of basic forms: the triangle, square and circle. This season, Maija Isola's 1964 Unikko (poppy) and 1968 Taifuuni (typhoon) prints are accompanied by the new Liito (glide) and Lauha (mild weather) prints by Antti Kekki.
Setting the tone of the season
Set the tone of the season with stand-out style. The Taifuuni print belonged originally to a series of patterns based on photographs depicting parts of the human body. The starting point for the pattern was the curve of the shoulder – the model for the photographs was Maija Isola’s daughter.
Bold florals and effortless dresses
Embrace bold florals and effortless dresses. Composed of flower and seed shapes torn from paper, the new Liito pattern was inspired by Marimekko’s characteristic large floral prints – like Unikko. The seeds represent the growth of bold Marimekko flowers in the years to come.
