Marimekko for H&M

Marimekko, the Finnish company known for its bright, colourful and distinctive prints has collaborated with H&M to produce a fashion range of 50 pieces featuring retro 50s, 60s and 70s - style prints.

"Our design team has long admired Marimekko's vivid patterns and colours. When our designers came up with the idea of creating a collection with Marimekko patterns, it felt very natural and timely. The summer collection 2008 will be joyfully fresh like a vitamin injection," states H&M's head of design Margareta van den Bosch.

The Summer 2008 collection will be released in stores in April 2008. Watch this space! ;)
