In the spirit of Canada Day, the Geoff McFetridge for North Star line was created as a means to celebrate national pride in a new and hip way.
Traditionally, patriotic Canadian apparel conjures up images of beavers and maple leaves, but the designer of this special edition collection decided to bring a fresh spin to that notion.
A collaboration between the classically Canadian sportswear line North Star and highly acclaimed designer Geoff McFetridge, the lineup includes a series of men’s and women’s tanks and tees featuring a sneaker-clad moose and a kaleidoscopic-eyed teddy bear.
The first ever collaboration collection from the sports brand also includes two hoodies—for both the ladies and the fellas. All of the clothing is manufactured in Canada to maintain that national pride element and features a variety of different color variations.
