City Slickers

You overplucked your eyebrows, burned the b-day brownies, and managed to kill your goldfish.

When it rains it pours.

Weather the storm with Slow and Steady Wins the Race’s slick rainwear collection. The latest installment of the affordable line is a collaboration with Portland’s Stand-Up Comedy, a store with strong eco values and style to boot.

The waterproof pieces are locally and sustainably produced from inexpensive materials, making them ripe for the recession: impeccably constructed ponchos, retro pumps, and bags reminiscent of Chanel and Balenciaga.

The designer prefers to remain anonymous. All we know is that he/she went to Vassar and studied studio art.

Talk about a tight rein.
