While it seems early to predict what style in 2K10 will look like (Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland!" JLo's NYE jumpsuit! Gaga's neon hair!), we can definitely tell you about a timeless style -- Marimekko.
The people behind the Scandinavian-centric FinnStyle (Gaviidae) also run -- Always Mod -- a website that is 100 percent dedicated to the Finnish design house, best known for bold graphics. If you were doubting the staying power of Marimekko, check out their blog dedicated to Marimekko news and tips.
Right now, you can get deals on many of the fabrics, handbags, stationery, bathrobes, umbrellas, dishes, mugs, towels and pillows. Everything -- yes, even the towels, bed linens, flatware, and pot holders -- has that timeless, sleek Scandinavian look.
Because when it comes to being design-forward, you wouldn't want to look like you're stuck in the past.
