Oh joy! H&M has just revealed its killer 70-piece tribute collection to Marimekko, due to arrive in stores on April 10. Initial verdict? Marimekko fans will be deliriously happy with the signature big, bold splashes of colour and wild prints, not to mention the extremely affordable prices (e.g. 3-button apron dress £30.65; tunic top £11.45; sun hat £11.45; scarf £15.30; and one-piece swimsuit £23).
At the same time, it's an ultra-wearable collection in mostly cottons and jerseys with an appealing throw-on-and-go element. (I love that part about summer fashion.) The punchy palette features dynamic combinations like red and pink; olive and orange; red and turquoise; and red, white and black.
Here's what I may consider doing something dire for on April 10:
Take a look at the tees from the men's collection:
And the super-cute kids' line-up comes with a co-ordinating teddy:
So, what do you think?

It all looks fab to me...I just hope it's not one of those collections that doesn't look as good in the actual shop. Either way I'll be first in line to see it!
Kate - yes, I know what you mean, that crossed my mind, too. I'm also hoping that the vibrant colours withstand a few washing machine cycles. xx
Me want one too!
I think the jewelry is the best part of this collection. Certainly a hit as far as accessories are concerned.
Ah I can't wait to get a look at it in person!
Very bold and if the material is half decent it will be a thrilling summer collection
I think it looks great. Is it too cheesy to buy something for me and something for my daughter?
Charlotte: aw, matching mum and bub! I know I would be tempted to go "mini me" if I had a kid! Poor kid! I would definitely pull it out for family gatherings, where I know I could get away with it. xx
I love that necklace! April 10 seems so far away...
