Marimekko


Marimekko dress. In 'fuscia', I think. A batik-esq small print, most probably designed by Annika Rimala. Designed and/or made in 1964. Sold originally between 1965-68 in either the Cambridge, Massachustts; New York, or San Fransisco Design Research store (famous early design store established by Harvard architecture school head Benjamin Thompson).


           Great with jeans. Great bare legged and barefoot. Easy breastfeeding access. Comfy. Flattering. 
                Colour suits me, although I rather suspect that ALL Marimekko dresses would suit me!



I'd love to find out the print name/colour/confirm the designer, so if any one knows of a good Marimekko research site/book do let me know.

                                                   What's your favourite piece of clothing?
