New print being shown in the Spring 2013 show!
Marimekko will be joining New York Fashion Week this year to show their Spring 2013 collection. The Finnish company is known for their apparel, housewares, bags, and fabrics. If you have never heard of this store you should definitely check it out, especially if you are a fan of Missoni and Jonathan Adler. The flagship store in the United States opened last October and is located at 200 5th Avenue, right next to Eataly. The store is bright and lively and the employees are very knowledgeable about their products and company's history. The word Marimekko is partly "Mari" a girl's name deriving from the founder Armi and partly "mekko" which is Finnish for dress. When you go into the store you will find that all the employees are wearing a striped shirt. The striped shirt was one of the first designs by Marimekko and symbolizes a unisex pattern that promotes equality.
