The 'Fall/Winter 2025 Capsule' from Canada Goose, designed by Haider Ackermann, reinterprets modern winterwear through a balance of function, craftsmanship, and environmental consciousness. The 'Snow Goose' by Haider Ackermann collection draws on the brand’s Arctic heritage while embracing fluidity, warmth, and connection to the natural world.
Photographed by Tim Elkaïm, the campaign features "Willie Nelson and Canadian actor D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, joined by Tasha Tilberg, Stevie Sims, Xiaowen Ju, and Connor Newall, embodying endurance and optimism." The collection introduces new design approaches—linings become exteriors, quilting is reversed, and performance fabrics are softened for movement and comfort.
Presented in hues of 'Fluorescent Mint Green,' 'Ice Lavender,' and 'Marine Earth Blue,' accented with reflective details, the capsule reflects the message “The Earth Needs All the Friends It Can Get.” Through its thoughtful construction, it redefines outerwear as both protection and expression of respect for nature.
