Manolo and Marimekko, an explosive cocktail

You all know my unlimited love for Mr. Blahnik. He has this endless talent which surprises us every season (at least, me). His inspirations are varied and normally taken from all around the world. That's why I am not surprised he has paid tribute to Marinekko with the pattern of these shoes:

As you can see, it's the same pattern than the flowers which are in Marimekko's website.


Marimekko is a Finnish based brand. It's designs are incredibly colourful, their palette of colours is huge, and their garments are high-quality.






Todos conocéis a estas alturas mi pasión desmedida por el señor Blahník. Sus zapatos son tan distintos a todos los demás... Él tiene un talento innato e inmenso que cada temporada nos desborda con nuevas sorpresas que poner en nuestros pies, su inspiración carece de límites, y ya puede inspirarse en María Antonieta, como en el Oeste, como en la ciudad de Petra... Por eso no me ha sorprendido que haya homenajeado a Marimekko con el estampado floral de estos zapatos, que es el mismo que aparece en la página web de la firma.
Marimekko es una marca finlandesa que basa su éxito y su nicho de mercado en los estampados que ofrece, muy llamativos, con una paleta de colores infinita, y haciendo mezclas hasta cierto punto poco vistas.
