{"product_id":"polka-dot-kimono","title":"Vuokko Kimono","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBy lack of a better word I’m using kimono here, because this piece is a robe, a dress, a jacket and a top. If versatility was a garment: this is it. I paired it with denim shorts but the lit’s of styling options is pretty long. Closes with snap buttons, side pockets and ballooned sleeves. White base in cotton with soft green dots. A perfect summer layering piece if you ask me. By the Finnish designer Vuokko who designed for Marimekko in the 50s and 60s. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSize: M tag\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBrand: Vuokko - Suomi Finland\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMaterial: cotton \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eShoulder to shoulder: 38,5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePit to pit: 74 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWaist: 85 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eLength: 122 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSleeve length: 57 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi was one of the pioneers of modern Finnish design. From 1953 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto 1960, she worked as a designer at Marimekko, where she revolutionized both printed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etextiles and garment design in Finland. In her hands, patterns and cuts were transformed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003einto bold, clean and functional silhouettes — at a time when corsets were still a part of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eeveryday women's fashion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVuokko was, above all, a textile designer. She sought to preserve the integrity of large-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003escale prints in finished garments, eliminating unnecessary seams that would disrupt the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflow of the pattern. For the sake of practicality, she also replaced traditional, often \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eunreliable buttons with snaps and zippers. The result was a new kind of garment — \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etimeless, relaxed and designed for movement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1964, Vuokko founded her namesake company. This marked the beginning of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVuokko brand, which went on to become a classic of Finnish and Nordic design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“There is no fashion, only time.” – Vuokko\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSource Vuokko.fi\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBecause this beauty has a slight mark at the bottom, it is heavily reduced in price.
