Marimekko 2024 Simpukka Unikko Rib Dress Black / Beige

I remember trying this on in the Marimekko showroom and being beside myself with excitement. Despite being a straight it it feels so good to wear and the jersey fabric is just so comfortable. I would normally feel a little self concious in a straight fit, but I definitely felt great in this!

The Simpukka cotton rib jersey dress has a slim, straight fit, and it features the Unikko pattern. The sleeveless dress has an open neckline in the front, a low back neckline, and sleeve openings, all with a self-fabric finish.

This product contains 92% organic cotton.

This dresses is sewn using the whole width of the fabric, and therefore their appearance may vary. Each item is unique.

Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has since become an international icon of print design. The founder of Marimekko, Armi Ratia, believed that it was not possible to faithfully capture the true essence of real flowers in print, which is why floral prints were earlier excluded from Marimekko collections. So, Maija Isola designed Unikko to be an abstraction of a flower rather than a photorealistic rendition. Today, Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, seamlessly integrated into Marimekko´s design identity.
