A real standout that would have held its own on any major runway, Sruli’s
collection is made almost entirely from Icelandic materials: reindeer,
taxidermy bird skins, horse and cod skin, lamb fur (and is rumored to be
experimenting with tanning shark skin). It was something of a citified
take on modern-day Viking might wear: slouchy three pieces suits,
tailored rustic leather jackets and knit pants. And thanks to the Sruli
Recht models, never have full beards been more alluring.
