HOW DO YOU STYLE YOUR MARFA STANCE PIECE AND WHY DO YOU LIKE THE BRAND?

I wear my Parachute Parka all the time, it’s just so flattering and incredibly versatile across seasons and looks, while my tote bag is my constant companion on my commutes to London! The brand is impossibly chic, while also being really functional, and the materials are all absolutely beautiful. Photographer: Stuart Simpson
