66°NORTH Celebrates Centennial at Copenhagen Fashion Week SS26
On the showcase Helgi Óskarsson, CEO, 66°North, said, 'Our journey over the last hundred years has been marked by innovation, without compromising on the core values built into the company since its inception.' 'This Copenhagen Fashion Week exhibition reflects our unwavering dedication to craftsmanship, durability, and purposeful design, and offers up guests an insight into the inner workings of our factories and repair shops,' he added.
Interactive features, including a wind machine and a GORE-TEX weather simulator, showcase the intense level of testing 66°North products receive before reaching the end consumer.
The special exhibition also contains an atelier inspired by the brand's factories, complete with cutting tables and workbenches. The label has operated directly-owned factories throughout Europe, with a facility in Latvia dedicated to collaborating with fabric innovators, including partners GORE-TEX® and Polartec®. In addition to the SS26 products, everything from prototypes, raw materials, and deconstructed garments was put on display to demonstrate the brand's product development journeys.
Harðardóttir expressed the label's dedication to incorporating responsible material choices without compromising on performance. 'We believe it's better to create a garment that lasts a decade than one that claims to be a more sustainable fabric but fails in two or three years.' For example, the SS26 Hornstrandir Shell Jacket is a GORETEX® Pro 3L hybrid jacket that offers storm-grade protection, and the Snæfell Polartec® Power ShieldTM Pro is designed to provide breathability, waterproofing, and unrestricted movement.
Led by the 66°North repair team, the company's 100-year-old mending initiative executed live repairs on-site at the exhibition. 'Our repair service has been central to our mission since Hans Kristjansson founded the company in Suðureyri, Iceland, in 1926. When your customers' lives depend on your products, you do everything possible to protect them,' said Bjarney Harðardóttir, CBO, 66°North.

One of You Saves, the Other Spends — Now What? A Financial Pro on Managing Money as a Couple
Question #10 of GOBankingRates' Top 100 Money Experts Series What's the best way to manage money with a partner? You're sitting at the breakfast table with your partner. Gazing into their eyes, you think about how much you love them, how much they — to quote 'Jerry Maguire' — 'complete you,' and how fortunate you are to have them. For You: Learn More: Just as you're about to fall even deeper in love, they open their mouth to tell you they might have, ahem, put a little more on the credit card than they planned. Or perhaps to chide you for not taking your employer match on your 401(k). Ah, love. Ain't it grand? It still can be — even if your money habits clash — when you learn how to balance different financial styles. That process might sound complex and uncomfortable, but according to Emma Johnson, founder of Wealthy Single Mommy and author of 'The 50/50 Solution' and 'The Kickass Single Mom,' it starts with something simple: listening to each other. GOBankingRates caught up with Johnson to get her take on how happy couples can stay happy couples when it comes to managing money together. Respect Each Other's Financial Independence One of Johnson's first pieces of advice is to recognize that you and your partner are, well, your own people. You each had fully formed identities and managed your own money before you got together. Acting like a parent or boss with your partner's finances can only breed resentment. 'Each partner needs some financial autonomy – money you can spend without checking in first,' Johnson said. 'You're both adults.' Therapists back this up. Given how often couples argue over money, it's not surprising that services like Ascencion Counseling include financial advice right on their websites. To keep your financial independence while managing joint responsibilities, you and your partner need to communicate and plan together. One common approach is to open a joint account for major shared expenses like rent, utilities and groceries, while keeping separate accounts for personal spending. Once you agree on how much each of you will contribute — ideally based on income rather than splitting everything 50/50 — you can still maintain individual control over your own separate accounts. This kind of setup gives each partner more confidence in their financial abilities while also minimizing potential resentment. That's a win-win. Read Next: Love Each Other Through Your Differences Opposites might attract in your favorite rom-com, but in real life, they can cause friction — and not the fun kind. Johnson acknowledges that differing money habits are tough to navigate. But she wants you both to sit down and ask yourself some hard questions. Do we see our money as shared? How do we feel about keeping separate accounts and spending without checking in? Should joint expenses be split equally or based on income? 'There are no right or wrong answers here, and your feelings may change over time. But it's important to come to some agreement together,' she said. 'Remember, these dynamics can change over time, so think about how you'd feel if the situation flipped, because life is long and it very likely could!' Timing is everything. Have these conversations when you're both in a calm and relaxed mood — not when you're mid-argument or stressed. You might even plan a special date night where you sit at home over a lovely meal and talk openly about your financial experiences. Share what makes you feel triggered or ashamed. Talk about areas where you feel secure and empowered. This kind of open honesty helps build empathy and prevents unintentional hurt. Come Together as a Financial Team You already act as a team in other parts of life, from house training your new puppy to navigating holiday dinners with extended family. Why not do the same with money? Johnson sees financial conversations as a lifelong dialogue, not a one-and-done talk. 'Ask yourselves: What is a short-term goal — in the next year — that we share? What long-term goal – five years, 10 years, retirement – do we share? Remember, the conversation is ongoing,' she said. 'It will evolve, change and have surprises and upsets. Keep talking and make future planning a fun, positive part of your partnership.' Bottom Line Just because you and your partner approach money differently doesn't mean your relationship is doomed. Far from it. With some honesty, vulnerability and a willingness to keep the conversation going, you can manage your finances as true partners — and even grow stronger in the process.

What is Team Trump thinking when it comes to future of Fannie, Freddie?
-- Team Trump is exploring ways to monetize the U.S. government's stakes in mortgage giants Fannie Mae (OTC:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (OTC:FMCC), with an initial sale of up to $30 billion possible 'as soon as this winter,' according to TD Cowen. The White House's focus is on 'the government realizing a return rather than on the GSEs raising new capital,' the analysts said, adding that under the plan, 'GSEs stay in conservatorship' with 'an implicit government backstop.' TD Cowen cautioned that 'having the government monetize its investments in Fannie and Freddie is more complex than it may appear.' Key hurdles include 'shareholder rights,' 'control of the boards of directors,' 'valuation,' 'commitment fee,' and 'limits on what the GSEs may do,' as well as the 'potential to merge the GSEs prior to any sales.' The bank said there is 'a path' for President Donald Trump to move forward, but it would require 'political risks that could impact both his popular support and GOP prospects in the midterm election.' Despite those challenges, TD Cowen sees 'reason for optimism' that the administration could begin sales, even if not by winter. One possibility is that 'Trump could just do it regardless of political and market risk,' a tactic the firm calls 'the tariff approach,' akin to his trade policy decisions. Another option could be selling a stake to 'a foreign sovereign wealth fund' or transferring control of the holdings to 'a newly created domestic sovereign wealth fund,' both of which TD Cowen said 'could involve less market and political risk.'
