Icelanders have a term for their climate: Window weather. Arnar Már Jónsson relays the phrase over Zoom from his Reykjavik kitchen, explaining it means a day that looks lovely and sunny, panning his Zoom camera to the window, but is actually horridly cold and damp. Jónsson and his co-creative director Luke Stevens have spent years perfecting performance garments for the unpredictable climates of Iceland, England, and all the other lands stuck between sidewalk and forest.
This season, Jónsson and Stevens are pivoting ever so slightly away from full gorp. Their references for spring are the blouson activewear and ready-to-wear of Italian and Japanese men’s fashion in the ’80s, a time when breezy, sporty clothing was trending. “It’s a merge of luxury and sportswear, not just tight plastic things,” Jónsson says, referencing activewear’s penchant for being body-clinging, stretchy, and pretty bad for the environment.
Their pure spring 2022 collection is simplified, sure, but not without surprises. Silver-treated linen is cut into a cinched anorak; Sanremo wool is used for trousers that seem convincingly suit-worthy until you realize they are actually sweat wicking and waterproof. A heather gray tracksuit, with inset nylon pockets, is a sort of trompe le touche—seems like jersey but is actually Milano stitched wool for a thick, luxe feel.
