Announced just yesterday, H&M’s designers are creating a collection with Marimekko’s patterns from the 1950s, 60s and 70s for the summer 2008 H&M collection. The collection of some 50 products will be sold in Hennes stores from April.

The blah blah blah goes: “Our design team has long admired Marimekko’s vivid patterns and colours. When our designers came up with the idea of creating a collection with Marimekko patterns, it felt very natural and timely. The summer collection 2008 will be joyfully fresh like a vitamin injection,” states H&M’s head of design Margareta van den Bosch. *PUKE*
They’d better sort our some decent publicity imagery - look at the thing I had to publish!
