Marimekko everywhere
Posted on | October 28, 2006 |

I grew up sleeping on a pair of vintage Marimekko sheets, which is a fact I could only recently appreciate. The sheets had giant flowers in shades of yellow and orange, similar to these but with more orange. So last year when I was shopping at Crate and Barrel for new sheets I instantly gravitated to the Merimekko Kukkula linens in taupe. Similar to my childhood sheets but in a more muted color/botanical print and easy to launder, I’ve become a huge fan of Marimekko.
So imagine my surprise when flipping through the latest Anthropologie catalog I saw Marimekko bags, especially the Pictograph Tote with a black background and white horses. And there are even more bags at the Marimekko site. My favorites are Maple, and Opaali with blue dots.
Marimekko everywhere!

I have been working on Styling (in NYC) ads for a new company, eenamaria, and went crazy for their bags and belt-bags.
The designs are some of the most innovative i’ve seen, and very utilitarian. I actually already put an order in for their newest collection-Kensington, made of the softest lambskin I’ve ever felt-maybe even better than the Chanel thigh-high’s-take that Karl.
Check out this new brand, http://www.eenamaria.com, and my styling page, http://www.myspace.com/jennifersennott
