sorry to be THAT brat but Marimekko is Finnish, therefore not Scandinavian but Nordic. (You can see the designer is never saying Scandinavian in reference to Marimekko). I feel Finnish style is distinct from Swedish or Danish (more playful, bold- sometimes à bit too much on the zeitgeist).

Whenever I wear Marimekko, my Finnish friends immediately recognize it (male, female, gay, straight, etc) and have a little sparkle in their eye. Finns love their fun brand that has become so iconic, and rightfully so!
