A Playful Marriage

Marimekko, the Finnish design house known for its bold, colorful and exotic prints, has
teamed up with the classic American sneaker Converse just in time for Spring to bring a
splash of color and individuality back to NYC streets after a long winter. Each company
brings to the table a history of joyful childhood memories from their respective countries
and share a happy, easy-going attitude to life, which is evident in each original design.
The iconic sneaker combines Marimekko’s signature poppy prints with both the classic
high and low Chucks and even introduces a few new feminine styles. Around $80, the
Converse Marimekko Collection is available online and will hit select stores in March. http://www.converse.com/

Belle da Costa Greene: A Librarian's Legacy

The Morgan Library &amp; Museum will present a major exhibition devoted to the life and career of its inaugural director, Belle da Costa Greene (1879&ndash;1950). Widely recognized as an authority on illuminated manuscripts and deeply respected as a cultural heritage executive, Greene was one of the most prominent librarians in American history. The exhibition will trace Greene&rsquo;s storied life, from her roots in a predominantly Black community in Washington, D.C., to her distinguished career at the helm of one of the world&rsquo;s great research libraries. Through extraordinary objects―from medieval manuscripts and rare printed books to archival records and portraits―the exhibition will demonstrate the confidence and savvy Greene brought to her roles as librarian, scholar, curator, and cultural executive, and honor her enduring legacy.
