Charlie, Assistant to the Creative Director of Tibi

Got Her: About to cross Prince at Lafayette.

Stalked Her: Because she was so tall, we could have sworn she was a model and had to get a closer look. And, among the sea of tourists wearing neutrals, her dress seriously stood out.

Shot Her: Because her dress was a modern take on the 70s, resembled a Marimekko print, yet wasn’t from H&M. Plus, she had great confidence and wasn’t afraid to wear bold stripes and bright flowers.

She Says: “This is actually a Tibi dress. It’s from last season, but I just love it. It makes people smile.”

We Say: We love a little not-so-vintage, vintage.

Is Avon getting to be kind of… cool?

A couple summers ago, they got Derek Jeter to pose glossy headshot style. Then they got Hills idol Lauren Conrad to smile for mark. Then, not even two weeks ago, the beauty monolith announced a limited-edition makeup range with Marimekko.

And now, they’ve snatched Versace frontman and television heartthrob Dr. McDreamy for an as-of-yet unnamed men’s fragrance that launches this November.

We’re pretty sure Dempsey’s wife, Jillian - Avon’s Global Creative Color Director - had something to do with Avon convincing him to pose for a scent - and yet, we can’t help but think that Avon has come a long way since our first memory of the brand from Edward Scissor Hands.

We have a feeling this is going to be the most gifted fragrance among junior high couples come December.

It looks like Marimekko has been up to more than just their collaboration with H&M -

The Finnish company has just announced a collaboration with beauty giant Avon. Marimekko has agreed to license its signature pattern, Unikko, to Avon for the makeup range, which will consist of just four products - an eye shadow, face powder, lip gloss and mascara, in addition to accessories.

We know we’re going to start seeing girls whip out bright pink Marimekko/Avon makeup bags on the subway come October, when the line debuts. But we’re hoping the print isn’t just relegated to cute packaging. We’re hoping Avon takes a cue from our favorite limited edition compact ever, YSL’s Opium palette, and make the actual makeup in the favorite print and colors of Marimekko.

We’re not sure how wearable a bright fuschia and yellow eyeshadow duo would be, but wouldn’t it look so cute on our dresser?

Is there a label that can outsell the diffusion lines of Madonna, Cavalli, and Stella McCartney?

We bet Marimekko can do it.

The Scandinavian design legend just announced a pairing with H&M, and ’80s babies everywhere started squealing.

The collections for women and children include printed tunics, dresses, and hats, plus some giant print bags that could rival Stella McCartney’s collection for LeSportsac (especially since these bags look much cooler).

Marimekko for H&M hits stores in April - just after the Jovovich-Hawk for Target debut.
