Vinna Piirto Unikko
Dress
The Vinna shirt dress is made of organic cotton poplin, and it has a relaxed, A-line fit. The dress is printed in the Piirto Unikko pattern. It has a pointed collar, a concealed button closure, side seam pockets, and loose, elbow-length sleeves with narrow cuffs. There is a yoke seam and a pleat in the back.
Piirto Unikko is a stylized, airy variation of the beloved floral created by Maija Isola in 1964. It nods to minimalism while emphasizing the graphic lines of the Unikko pattern.
Unikko
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.
