Capturing the joy of outdoors in winter wear

Live Mint  

How do you translate the joy of the outdoors into clothes? The result: a limited-edition collection of fluffy turtlenecks, skirts, shorts, bags and socks realised in vibrant colours and prints—all inspired by the Nordic winter landscape and featuring Marimekko’s prints by iconic designers Maija Isola and Pentti Rinta. Kissapöllö, on the other hand, is a pattern of stylised natural forms, which Maija Isola created in 1961 using gentle, sweeping brushstrokes while listening to music in Marimekko’s textile printing factory in the middle of the night. With tone-to-tone pearl greys, muted gold, and timeless black, Marimekko’s bold and graphic prints mix perfectly with Uniqlo’s functional pieces. My personal favourite for enjoying a crisp winter day would be the fleece jacket in Maija Isola’s Kivet pattern.
