The world of fashion has been buzzing with excitement since the unveiling of the Canada Goose and Y/Project capsule collection during the Paris Fashion Week Fall Winter 2020. This unique collaboration is the perfect combination of iconic design and modern aesthetics, bringing together the downy Canada Goose polar jacket and the visually stunning and thought-provoking design of Y/Project.
With six pieces in total, the collection includes parkas, sweaters, and reversible beanies that are not only innovative in design but also versatile in their functionality. Y/Project’s Creative Director, Glenn Martens, handpicked the best team to bring the collection to life, including the French photographer Arnaud Lajeunie and British stylist Robbie Spencer, the executive fashion director of Dazed & Confused.
The team was inspired by the iconic campaign images from the Canada Goose archive and together they created a series of images that push the boundaries of photography and art. Outdoor locations, black and white filters, and quirky poses are combined with an oversized moon that threatens to engulf the scenery, giving the images a spooky, cool, and trippy feel.
When the versatility of Canada Goose products and the unpredictable design of Y/Project come together, the result is a collection that is reminiscent of a crazy puppet theater. The combination of these two brands is perfectly suited to the current Halloween season, which may have been unintentional but works perfectly nonetheless.
However, as the collection continues to garner attention and create a buzz, it’s important to remember that Canada Goose still owes its customers an explanation for its use of fur and down in its products. Despite the cool and hip reputation the brand may have gained from this collaboration, the ethical concerns surrounding the use of animal products cannot be ignored.
The Canada Goose and Y/Project capsule collection is a testament to the power of collaboration and the blending of two different worlds. From the iconic designs of Canada Goose to the thought-provoking aesthetic of Y/Project, this collection is sure to make a lasting impact on the fashion world. Whether you’re looking for functionality or style, this collection has something for everyone and is a must-see for fashion lovers and aficionados alike.
