Marimekko always reminds me of the best and boldest times of my childhood. Our tables were often decorated with big stripy Marimekko tablecloths, all the Jones girls owned at least one floorlength Marimekko dress and the best of bold design always made me smile.

For me its not a debate - this is its own kinda art.

I love that the Marimekko style has never been diluted. Their current range is as loud, strident and positive as ever. Here are my top ten from their fresh designs. (Yes, pink gets a very special mention in my selection - ha!)
