Color blocking, rainbow swirls, and geometric patterns were major trends gracing the runway of the Spring 2013 Marimekko show in New York. The collection’s bold colors were cohesive and perfect for spring.

Model Carmen Dell’Orefice, 81, walked two looks during the show, hamming it up and receiving a standing ovatio. It was overwhelmingly clear that she looked just as phenomenal in the Marimekko designs as the twenty-somethings with rainbow-dyed hair.

We love that anyone from Hailee Steinfeld to Meryl Streep would look fabulous and ready for spring in these designs, but Michelle Williams and Nicole Richie would be an excellent matches for this new collection. Their love for funkier, bright colored pieces and more classic vintage silhouettes would be perfectly blended with any piece from this set. Since Lily Collins has been embracing graphic patterns lately, we’d love to see her try out one of the bright color-blocked numbers as well!

Browse through the gallery above for more looks that stood out from the show.

The Gossip Girl star’s colorful bag is a steal at just $10!

Always stylish Gossip Girl actress Kelly Rutherford was out in NYC on Sept. 28 with her 1-year-old daughter, Helena, when we spied a fantastic bag hanging off the side of her stroller. It’s the Limited-Edition Avon Crusade Tote designed by Marimekko — which Kelly is using as a diaper bag!  The $10 tote is exclusively sold by Avon.  For each tote sold, 100% of the net profits ($6.24) will be donated to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade charity.

Recently, the actress gushed about how Helena’s big brother, 3-year-old Hermes, wants to “change the world.”  “He’s at the age where literally every day it’s something new,” the proud mom said. “I think it’s a good message!” Kelly obviously loves being a mom and is teaching her kids to do the right thing!
