Manolo Blahnik Marimekko shoes

Posted by: Admin on Dec 09, 2007



The latest unexpected fashion pairing comes from Finland’s 56-year-old design powerhouse, Marimekko, and the King of Shoes, Manolo Blahnik.

Blahnik Spring/Summer 2008 collection will include shoes in the venerable Marimekko pattern Mini-Unikko (shoe on left). Maija Isola designed the pattern in 1964 in protest to Marimekko’s founder and mastermind Armi Ratia’s pronouncement that there will not be floral patterns in Marimekko.
