You may recognize Maija Louekari's work from many Marimekko fabrics. Her portfolio of work is just stunning and turns out she's only 26!

Wow. I am truly in awe--so much talent, and so much personality is evident in these designs!

I love Maija Louekari's designs, it's so sad that Marimekko totally ripped her off. They payed her 500€ and 5m of fabric for her Ho Hoi! design. Pretty shocking!!

sorry, have to correct, it's LouEkari. love her.

thanks for this post...she's a great artist...i want the dresses especially the one with the "glasses" prints...

I'm mildly obsessed with the eye glasses print.

it is georgeus!

Oh my, oh my, these are just lovely. She has a beautiful color palette. Her eye glass print reminds me of Kate Bingaman-Burt's drawings at Obsessive Consumption. As a young designer myself, I both love and hate hearing about great work done by folks who are younger than me. It lights a real fire under your bum to keep making!

fantastic... yay for 26 year olds! :)

ps i actually thought that was part of the obsessive consumption too...i guess sunglasses are sunglasses. :)
