Marimekko for Avon

Not only is Marimekko working with H&M for a collection, they have also signed onto Avon to create a color cosmetics collection. According to WWD, Marimekko will license its Unikko signature pattern designed by Maija Isola in the Sixties, which has been reinterpreted by Isola’s daughter, Kristina Isola, for Avon. The collection contains four limited edition color products, including eyeshadow, face powder, lip gloss and mascara, as well as accessories. This collection is scheduled to launch in October starting with North America, Europe, Mexico and Asia, followed by the remainder of Latin America in early 2009.
