Founded by Armi Ratia in 1961, Marimekko is a play on words - an anagram of Armi's first name and " mekko," which means " dress" in Finnish. Whether it's on a purse or plate, Marimekko's use of print and color is world-renowned for its trend-setting, forward-thinking aesthetic. Here, a contemporary striped motif makes this classic silk silhouette a modern must-have.
