The aim of most designers is to create a product that is innovative, straight-forward, suits all target groups, and withstands the test of time. Though very few have succeeded in this aim, Annika Rimala has- within the particularly volatile world of fashion. Only her Tasaraita tricot-collection for Marimekko, that reflects the liberty of thought and thinking in the fashion-design of the sixties, granted her a position among the really important fashion designers of the late 20th century. Her colorful world of textiles and clothing has left a permanent mark on Finnish dressing habits, as it has virtually become “national property” of Finland.
