Canada Goose unveiled the brand's first-ever capsule collection that was created in partnership with fashion designer Angel Chen. The spring capsule collection takes an experimental approach and fuses Eastern and Western aesthetics to create a contemporary collection that is without the constraints of age, gender, or country.
"Over the years, we have worked with some of the world’s best. This season, we introduce a new type of partnership with Angel Chen, our first ever guest designer," said Woody Blackford, EVP Product at Canada Goose. "In our approach, we look for unique and creative perspectives, drawing inspiration from distinct aesthetics that challenge us. Our brief is to reinterpret and reimagine our core design DNA through their eyes. Angel has done just that, putting her signature spin on our most iconic products."
