A FIRST LOOK AT CANADA GOOSE’S NEW A/W COLLECTION

When temperatures are dropping and wet and windy weather conditions are cluttering your seven-day forecast, that’s when you know it’s time to trade in your transitional trench coat for a great winter coat. And where better to look for such an item than esteemed performance luxury lifestyle brand, Canada Goose?

While fashion and practicality rarely go hand in hand, Canada Goose has managed to bring the two together in perfect harmony. A brand long beloved by outdoor activists and fashion types with equal fervour thanks to the clothing’s performance luxury design (some designs are tested to withstand temperatures of up to -25°C) and understated good looks. In fact, their collection of outerwear has become a cult favourite with famous faces such as Angelina Jolie, Rihanna and Elizabeth Olsen all donning the iconic Canada Goose styles.

But it’s their latest campaign that has us particularly excited.

Captured through the lens of iconic portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz, Canada Goose are highlighting the stories of three extraordinary women who bravely and boldly push boundaries, inspire others and seek greatness within. From actor, Jodie Turner-Smith to model, musician, and DJ, Soo Joo Park and model and actor, Khadijha Red Thunder, they each embody the brand’s ‘Live In The Open’ ethos. Showcasing the latest Canada Goose outwear products which demonstrate an increased focus on womenswear design as part of the brand’s plan to grow its female offering, this is one collection you won’t want to miss out on.

We want to inspire our female consumer to live boldly, and we also want to show her that she doesn’t need to compromise on style or performance.
