Finnish design house Marimekko and Chinese fashion designer brand ANGEL CHEN present a capsule collection launching on September 26, 2022 in China. The Marimekko x Angel Chen collection celebrates the purest, most distilled parts of both brands and combines some of Chen's signature design elements - the use of vivid primary colors and sequins with Marimekko's most iconic print design Unikko from 1964. The capsule includes two dresses, two tops and a bag and will be available in selected Marimekko stores and online on marimekko.com. In addition, the capsule collection will be available globally online at marimekko.com as well as in selected stores in the Asia-Pacific region from October 10, 2022 onwards.

"Marimekko is pleased to collaborate with designer Angel Chen, whose colorful designs feel very much aligned with our brand. We have admired Chen's work since her debut collection in 2014. Marimekko's brand history is strongly connected with working together with young designers and Chen is part of a new wave of young Chinese brands making an impact globally. This capsule combines our forever-floral Unikko with Chen's signature aesthetics. Both brands share a passion for working with primary colors, which has made this a truly collaborative project. Marimekko's mission is to bring joy to people's everyday lives through our bold prints and colors and we feel this capsule acts as an emblem of that philosophy,"" says Satu Maaranen, Head Designer of Kioski Ready-to-Wear, Bags and Accessories at Marimekko.

"It is my great pleasure to work with Marimekko on this collaboration project. Under the concept of 'Daydream', this special collection has brought together the joyful spirits of Marimekko and ANGEL CHEN. We encourage everyone to express their style with confidence and joy. In this state of optimism, emotions, hopes and wishes are all reachable," says Angel Chen.
