Product Insights
The Myy Unikko Pleated Skirt from Marimekko features the Unikko pattern, first created in 1964 as a defiant response to a floral ban, echoing pop art and flower power, and now a signature design among over 500. After 36 years on home textiles, the pattern enters fashion, with the Patterned Black variant tracing to a 1960s black-olive colorway (dark grey with black print, not solid black). The skirt is made from dense recycled polyester crepe with a soft pebbled texture, providing a fluid A-line drape, opacity, and permanent pleats that resist creasing. The relaxed elastic waist fits true to size, and the silhouette’s mid-calf length on a 5'11 model means shorter frames see a longer hem. Pair it with leather or denim for varied looks.
