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. Unikko not only melted Ms. Ratia’s heart but it has become one of the most enduring and recognizable of Marimekko patterns. The other Marimekko Blahnik shoes will be adorned in the more graphic BonBon pattern.
