marimekko


d- i found this dress at shareen's in los angeles. if i had seen this dress only one year earlier i would have probably passed it by on the rack. however, my eye for clothing has drastically changed since working at the fidm museum. this is a marimekko dress. marimekko is a textile company based in finland and began in the 1950s. the amazingly talented rachel harris (she writes the blog for the museum) can give you insight to marimekko, better than i ever could.

best thing about wearing this dress? walking in it. the more leg the better. 


this shot was for blair. the ultimate cat lady.




clothes that have such great context and history is what i love the most about fashion.
