Congratulations to Canada Goose on their first-ever creative director, Haider Ackermann! We’re thrilled he has a shared passion for polar bears and their Arctic home. We’re incredibly honored that Haider’s first project for Canada Goose will benefit our work—100% of the proceeds will be donated to support our ongoing efforts to protect a future for polar bears and their sea-ice habitat. 💙
Today, we are proud to announce renowned designer, Haider Ackermann, as our first-ever Creative Director. With a vision grounded in purpose, his appointment signifies a new chapter in our story. “When it comes to the marriage of craftsmanship and beauty, there’s no one more fitting than Haider Ackermann. He intuitively understands Canada Goose as a brand apart from all others, and that authenticity, craftsmanship and performance are the cornerstones of our brand.” - Dani Reiss, CEO This partnership is marked by the launch of an exclusive style in support of Polar Bears International (PBI), which is at the forefront of efforts to study, understand and protect polar bears and their declining habitat. "What drew me to Canada Goose is not only how they have created a category, but also its authentic reputation and drive to stay committed to its purpose. My hope is that by coming together with the extraordinary climate champion Jane Fonda, we can help drive people to act – and to do it now."
