Rain Proof
Since it's been pouring and windy here in San Francisco, we thought it would be a good idea to finally test out our water-resistant, Fjallraven Kala parka for all of you.
All our Fjallraven jackets are made with their G-1000 fabric that can be waxed during the winter months. G-1000 is advertised as:
water repellent and quick-drying
almost completely windproof
a breathable fabric
lightweight
provides UV protection and is UPF 50+
mosquito safe

Holly was brave enough to be our test subject. Here are our results:
We had Holly stand out in the rain for a few minutes, making sure she got a good soak.

When she came back inside, we noticed that the water sat on top of the fabric, easily sliding off when she shook it. The water did not soak through at all. Though she wore only a thin layer of jersey underneath and is a small person, she said that also did not feel the gusty wind penetrate the fabric, keeping her not only dry, but protected against the draft.

Women of Style: Tilda Swinton
Tilda Swinton
It seems almost too easy for us to come up with stylish women who should be featured in our series on style icons (Bardot, Grace Jones, Birkin to name a few) but there isn't a lot of contemporary women now that we think represents impeccable, ageless sophistication and style in an international scale like they did. At least until we thought of Tilda.

At least until we thought of Tilda.
From her underground roots as Derek Jarman's muse to her current film portrays, Tilda's versatile, powerful performances have won her not only critical acclaim (including an Oscar win) but also nods from the fashion community for her strong masculin/feminin style (she is also the face of both men's and women's lines from Pringle of Scotland).
It isn't just that she wears Lanvin and Haider Ackermann so well or that she has such androgynous beauty. We think Tilda is such an amazing style icon simply because she is such a creative intellectual and has impeccable taste in a broader spectrum other than fashion. Someone who is well read, uninhibited from challenging, often controversial work and always has an air of sophistication and grace. That, and one of the most beautiful speaking voices we have ever heard.
Something we'd like to see her in:

Holly's Pick: Acne
Kinda a no brainer, Acne is Holly's favorite brand (has she grabbed and pulled you close to the cash wrap and shown you one of her favorite presentations for SS11 from Acne? She will).
She is a certifiable fanatic and has a deep affinity for minimalism, loose baggy fits and shares Jonny Johannson's love of American country style, disco, trannies and Neil Young.
