J’Amy Tarr

DESIGNER J’AMY TARR has a thing for outerwear. A Mill Valley native, she grew up emulating the casually chic women of San Francisco and admiring their ability to brave the fi ckle city weather. After earning a°double master of fi ne arts degree from the Academy of Art University, Tarr put in work at Levi’s headquarters and Michael Kors before relocating to Seattle. It was there that her fi rst designs were born. After returning home, Tarr launched her eponymous collection, featuring a bevy of jackets and coats perfect for the quintessential city girl. PHILOSOPHY Tarr’s outwear is designed for the modern woman. “I pay close attention to fi t and craftsmanship to create looks that make a statement,” she says. Her process involves a fair amount of theme development — the concepts in the current collection were inspired by the natural beauty of Northern California. THE SCOOP The jackets and coats are available online or by appointment at Tarr’s Mill Valley studio; prices range from $438 to $648. Each purchase comes with free alterations and a personalized styling session with Tarr, who will help individualize your look. BEYOND MARIN As Tarr’s pieces are designed for the San Francisco set, she keeps everything local — she works and designs out of Mill Valley, and all components of the collection are manufactured within 100 m iles of the city. Some fabrics are imported from Italy and Japan; the leather comes from Napa. WHAT THEY SAY “The Bay Area is a unique environment where technology, microclimates and style intersect,” says Tarr. “In this spirit, the moto jacket, made from fi ne Japanese wool, is my go-to. It’s truly a day-to- evening piece and fi ts right in on the my go-to. It’s truly a day-to- evening piece and fi ts right in on the streets of San Francisco.” jamytarr.comstreets of San Francisco.” jamytarr.com CALIN VAN PARIS CALIN VAN PARIS
