Banana Republic and Finnish fashion and design house Marimekko announce the Banana Republic Marimekko Collection

This limited-edition capsule marries Banana Republic’s modern, American style with some of Marimekko’s most iconic textile designs. and launches exclusively at select Banana Republic locations worldwide and online beginning May 20, 2014. 
The capsule collection blends some of the most signature items from both brands, including Banana Republic’s iconic Hampton pant in Marimekko’s heroic black and white polka dot print.
Items range from an architecturally designed cotton tunic with a plunging neckline, to a billowing maxi dress, to a dramatic full skirt – offering a versatile summer capsule that marries culture with style. 
The collection’s featured patterns, created by three of Marimekko’s storied designers, each tell a unique story through distinctive prints. From intriguing landscapes and folk-inspired art, to circular dots that dance in a single file, the prints splash the capsule with bright hues alongside classic black and white.
Includes petites pieces and prices will range in price from £39.50 (tank top) - £85.00 (dress); accessories range from £39.50 (clutch) - £75.00 (shoes). 
Marimekko first made headlines in the United States when Jacqueline Kennedy donned a number of the brand’s iconic printed dresses during the 1960 U.S. presidential campaign. The Marimekko brand has become world-renowned for an artistic approach to print-making. Marimekko’s team of artists juxtapose cheerful, fresh prints, creating whimsical patterns and textiles that are rich in variation, yet timeless in design.
