Are Marimekko and Manolo a Match Made in Heaven?

So not only will there be a Marimekko/H&M pairing this year...



but it looks like someone else may be trying to get in on the action, whether intentionally or not...



I see the resemblance Mnsr. Manolo. Your Tarkan sandals are quite lively and bright.



Are they an homage? Inquiring minds want to know.

UPDATE: This is an official pairing. There are other styles in the line as well, so check them out!
