Marimekko Maridenim introduces new elements in 2026 Marimekko enters the new year with a fresh expansion of its Marimekko Maridenim line, combining iconic prints with sustainable innovation. First launched in 2024, the Maridenim range has already established itself as a favourite for effortless, print-forward dressing. For spring 2026, the collection welcomes both new colours and prints. A soft light pink variation of the classic denim shirt and jeans, available in the Barrel and Wide fits, now features the house’s legendary Unikko floral pattern, originally designed by Maija Isola in 1964. This refresh brings a delicate, feminine energy to the iconic poppy motif. Joining the lineup is the rhythmic Keidas print, designed by Annika Rimala in 1967. Originally inspired by the pulse of youth culture, its ornamental energy now appears on the collection’s denim shirt and Loose-fit jeans, marking its debut on denim and showcasing Marimekko’s innovative approach to textile expression.  The collection offers four versatile fits: Barrel, Loose, Wide and Straight, each designed for easy styling. Crafted in alignment with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Jeans Redesign guidelines, every piece uses mono-material cotton and removable hardware to enhance recyclability. Innovative finishing methods, such as laser and ozone washing, replace traditional techniques, highlighting Marimekko’s commitment to circular fashion.

Levi’s® Declares It Baggy Season: Effortless Style for the Holidays images courtesy of Levi’s  This holiday season, Levi’s® flips the script on festive dressing with Baggy Season — a celebration of relaxed silhouettes that stay polished under pressure. While traditional holiday style leans structured and formal, Levi’s® embraces an elevated ease, proving that comfort can be the coolest choice from October through New Year’s. Baggy emerges as the season’s most versatile trend, adapting seamlessly to office parties, family gatherings, and end-of-year celebrations. For women, the Super Baggy Barrel makes a bold impact with its dramatic slouch, perfectly balanced by the Tailored Bustier. The Baggy Dad Barrel offers laidback refinement, especially when paired with the Stella Relaxed Blazer, while the Tara Wooly Cardigan brings cozy sophistication to low-key moments. For men, the ultra-relaxed 578™ Baggy sets the tone for a modern holiday uniform. The Highland Park Jacket dresses it up for evening, while the Briggs Short Puffer takes over when temperatures drop. The Smiley Western and Presidio Raglan Sweater deliver playful, polished layering options. Structured staples like the Jackson Worker and the women’s Harlie Boyfriend Shirt add versatility, while accessories such as the Glam Stud Belt, Presley Top Handle Bag, and LS Monogram Cap refine the full baggy aesthetic. Spanning heritage icons and new interpretations, the Holiday 2025 collection underscores one truth: baggy isn’t just a fit — it’s an attitude. An antidote to seasonal stress, Levi’s® Baggy brings ease, adaptability, and understated cool to every festive scenario. The Holiday 2025 assortment is available worldwide starting in October on Levi.com, the Levi’s® App, and in select Levi’s® Stores.

Holiday Gift Guide December 10th My Life in Colors by Martin Brudnizki I have followed Martin Brudnizki for many years, and this book would make the perfect Christmas gift. I can picture myself curling up on the sofa during the holidays, reading his reflections on color and interior design, especially now as I am renovating an apartment and picking up more paint samples than anyone reasonably should. Martin Brudnizki is an internationally acclaimed interior architect and designer based in London and New York. Among many projects, he has designed New York’s Fifth Avenue Hotel, Le Grand Mazarin in Paris, Annabel’s in London, the Hotel Splendido in Portofino, and the Beekman Hotel in New York. This is his first book, and let’s hope it is the first of many. Find the book here Image Courtesy of Rizzoli USA
