As you may have read previously, Dolce & Gabbana has been using Marimekko’s trademarked Unikko pattern on dresses - without permission. Now, in response to Marimekko’s suit against Dolce & Gabbana, the Italian company has sought to declare Marimekko’s Unikko trademark invalid. Wow. What do you think?

Marimekko’s Unikko pattern was designed in 1964 by Maija Isola and is easily Marimekko’s most recognizable print.

We came across this idea for a wedding color scheme on the blog, The Bride’s Guide, a subsidiary of Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine. The inspiration for this powder blue wedding came from the Lumimarja fabric. From the light blue drinks to the ribbon trimmed cake, the effect is simply lovely.
