Guðrún Hafsteinsdóttir chose a satin skirt suit for the opening of Iceland’s parliament, an especially formal occasion. The light gray-blue Marc Cain outfit features a jacket tied at the waist and a straight-cut skirt with a side slit.
The Icelandic Independence Party MP has increasingly favored satin in recent months. She has generally avoided patterned clothing, instead choosing single-color satin garments in burgundy, dark blue, cream, pink and light blue shades.
The suit is made from 82% acetate and 18% polyester. Acetate, produced from wood pulp or cotton, gives the fabric a smooth, silky feel, while polyester adds strength and durability. The suit is available in Iceland at Hjá Hrafnhildi.
The jacket costs 83,980 Icelandic krona, and the skirt costs 36,980 krona.
