Marimekko Dresses

The ultimate mod possession, Marimekko print dresses have been adored by designers, celebrities and the public alike since the company burst onto the scene in the 1950's. From its first fashion show in Helsinki in 1951, Marimekko dared to showcase unconventional ways in which to wear bold, avant-garde prints thus captivating awe-struck crowds. Emerging at the end of the Second World War, Marimekko's colorful and vivid prints became immensely popular and provided a sense of hope and renewal as the world emerged from a dispirited post-war era. Retaining its youthful spirit and playful patterns, Marimekko dresses have become a part of design history and have enamored the world with timeless style and beauty.

About Finnish Design

Finnish design has a long history and is know for simplicity, functionality, and craftsmanship. It's trademark designs emerged in the early 20th century, and gained international attention through pioneers like Alvar Aalto in architecture and furniture, as well as companies such as Iittala, Artek, and Marimekko. Their work emphasized clean lines, natural materials, and a harmonious balance between beauty and practicality. Everything must have a purpose. Iconic products like the Aalto vase, Artek’s Stool 60, and Marimekko’s bold textile patterns established Finland as a leader in modernist design. Over the next century, Finnish design became synonymous with high quality, technical skill, and timeless aesthetics—qualities that have earned it global recognition, particularly during the postwar years when Nordic design was celebrated worldwide, and still is. Today, Finnish products continue to enjoy international respect, not only for their aesthetic value but also for their reputation of reliability, thoughtful construction, and cultural authenticity.
