Marimekko Tasaraita Stripes for Equality

The year 1968 was a time of reformist, fervent and brave ideas and actions. Passionate battles for equality were fought across the world. The battle also extended to fashion and decorative arts, bringing to the fore the concept of anonymous design.

This is when designer Annika Rimala created Marimekko's first cotton jersey collection, Tasaraita (even stripe), which was an immediate success. A symbol of equality, Tasaraita has become a classic beloved by people all around the world.

Marimekko's designer Annika Rimala was also a supporter of anonymity in design. She wanted to create timeless, anonymous everyday clothes that suited everyone, regardless of age or sex. 

Today, Tasaraita is a beloved and functional series of Marimekko classics beloved by people all around the world. 

This year we are joining Marimekko in celebrating 50 years of Tasaraita!
