Canada Goose has launched its first-ever spring capsule collection, created in partnership with guest designer, Angel Chen. The exclusive thirteen-piece collection for women and men follows the transformational journey of the garments from winter in Canada to spring in China, showcasing the evolution of Canada Goose’s most iconic parka: the Snow Mantra.
This capsule collection has digital-first innovation at the forefront, with Canada Goose and Angel Chen bringing this campaign to life through both augmented reality (AR) and Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI).
Angel Chen is a Chinese designer who has an experimental approach to design and colour, coupled with a fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics. Through her design language, she brings Eastern elements and traditional techniques to life, creating a contemporary collection without boundaries between countries, age and gender.
Putting her signature twist on the brand’s most comprehensive offering in outerwear, Angel Chen creates two distinctive pieces within the collection: the Women’s Cropped Snow Mantra Parka for Angel Chen ($1,595 CAD), which can be worn upside down for a discerning look and the Men’s Convertible Snow Mantra for Angel Chen ($1,795 CAD), which can be worn four ways by experimenting with the removable lower half, sleeves and hood.
This collection leverages Canada Goose fabrics and technologies, which were developed for the harshest weather conditions and proven in the field for decades by scientists, arctic workers and explorers.
The Canada Goose Spring capsule collection extends into Lightweight Down, Windwear, Rainwear, Knitwear and Accessories categories. There is also a bold new red and two new shades of pink, included in the colorways, further honouring Angel’s culture and heritage.
