Jacqueline Kennedy made Marimekko a household name in the 60's by wearing the famous pink dress on the cover of Sports Illustrated (top left) and sporting the other seven dresses throughout the Presidential campaign. SATC's Carrie was parially responsible for the brand's revival, donning a chic number (right) while her apartment included a Marimekko curtain (lower left). Image and description from link
looking effortlessly stunning
love this bold color and think it would be great with a festive cocktail in hand during the hot months of summer
bold and fun yet classic-love these looks!Popsugar.com mentions, "Jackie O. first put Finnish textile brand Marimekko on the map when she wore their brightly-patterned dresses during JFK's 1960 presidential campaign." H&M even did a tribute to Marimekko and had a collection in its stores.
Most people who know me know how much I love clothes, fashion, pearls, dresses, handbags and everything glam! I tend to be classic but love to put spins on things and love various patterns, textures and am open-minded to trying new trends. I have always loved Jackie Onassis' style and feel she really set the way for chic, classic dress with a twist and she wasn't afraid to take fashion "risks". She is definately a style icon to myself and carried herself with such grace and sophistication.
