Cool Hunting

For those of you still heartbroken over the disappearance of environmentally and performance-driven clothiers Nau, grab your Seventh Generation tissues and dry your tears because Nau is back. Armed with even more beautiful sustainable fabrics, the 2008 Fall/Holiday collection will bring about a positive change, both environmentally and in terms of how we view eco-friendly fashion.

Some highlights from the collection include the Nau classic, the Shroud of Purrin Trench (below left), a water and wind resistant jacket comprised of recycled polyester with a sleek silhouette sure to please any urbanite. There's also the Dualist Jacket (below right), a slim-fitting, merino wool windbreaker with a button-up collar to keep the chill off your neck.

Nau officially relaunches to the public (they've already granted sneak peeks to select old-school customers) 21 October 2008 and you can shop online or stop by the Connect showroom in Chicago. The socially responsible retailer will house the entire Nau collection and offer the choice to take your goods home with you or have them delivered by bike messenger if you live in town.
