Talking about this collection, Yuki Katsuta, Head of Research & Development at UNIQLO, said, “ We are delighted to once again partner with Marimekko. More specifically, we are excited as this marks the first time that motifs created by Japanese designer, Fujiwo Ishimoto, have been included in the collection in collaboration with Marimekko.” “His creations are a blend of Scandinavian design with quintessential Japanese values, both daring, sophisticated and unique. This latest collection combines UNIQLO’s signature spirit of simplicity and Marimekko’s playful patterns, created for everyone to enjoy with family and friends. I hope that the colorful outfits released this time will energize people everywhere to enjoy a memorable summer together, ” shared Yuki. The new designs from this combined collection are a cross between UNIQLO’s simple yet sophisticated designs with seven bright prints inspired by the four designers of Marimekko’s design team. Prominent among these is the creation of Fujiwo Ishimoto, who created 400 patterns for Marimekko between 1974 and 2006. Three motifs depicting Finnish nature were selected for this collection. The Finnish custom of picking flowers in summer inspired the designs of Seitsemän kukkaa (seven flowers). Some of his other motifs in the collection are also impressive, such as the floral Talkoot (work party) floral motif, the Pikkulempi (little love) motif reproducing the image of a field full of flowers. The collection also introduces Annika Rimala’s Aitanovi (cottage door) and Aita (fence) motifs, marking the designer’s signature modern and flexible style. A denim V-neck blouse will be the perfect choice to pair with a long skirt of the same material and texture. The designs of long sleeveless dresses for girls with the same motifs as the casole models will be interesting suggestions for mothers and daughters to dress up together. Colorful accessories like wide-brimmed hats, shoulder bags and wedge sandals will breathe new life into denim style. In addition, the collection also has many “cut-and-sewn” (separate) and jersey fabrics. The collection also showcases bold print t-shirts, comfortable jersey dresses, skirts and baby leggings in a variety of colors like yellow, magenta and other bright colors, bringing to the joy of matching outfits with different textures.

Usually, Swedish design is not too flashy but focuses on simplicity and minimalism. However, people in this Scandinavian country tend to prefer luxurious interiors. Because of their busy life and work, they want a space to relax and rest, a place that feels like “real home”. In the living room, designers Laven and Walgren arranged a set of wooden bookshelves to hide clutter and optimize sound quality. Before being redesigned, the apartment lacked the open space that customers wanted. To make up for that, Laven and Walgren have brought a new space with flexible French-influenced layouts with elegant parquet floors and luxurious plaster ceilings. The old-fashioned floors and cramped kitchen have also been redesigned in a minimalist way, decorated with wood and stone, giving a feeling of spaciousness and luxury. In private spaces such as bedrooms, Swedish sensibilities are preserved, focusing on function and clean lines. The color focuses on blues that are soothing to the eye. The desk is designed towards the window, giving the most light, and also has some potted plants and flowers to help increase the natural element. The bathroom has a bespoke marble floor and mirror area by Studio Lawahl, while the lights in the room come from the brand Vistosi. Another area in the bathroom is also covered with marble. In short, this design has been combined between Scandinavian minimalism and European elegance, but it still shows uniqueness.
