The outerwear stalwart has teamed up with the Brooklyn-based light artist for its S/S 2020 Branta collectionBrooklyn-based James Clar has been using today’s lockdown climate to reconnect, when possible, with the natural world. ‘We have to stay safe, but also not forget the beauty that is out there,’ he explains. Natural phenomena is the basis of the light artist’s practice; his work uses the medium to explore our relationship with technology. ‘My art is about light and perception.
Now, for the first time the artist has teamed up with a fashion label, collaborating with Canada Goose as part of its innovation-focused Branta line, in an exploration of how light can be incorporated into clothing.The result is a five-piece women’s, men’s and unisex outerwear collection in utilitarian tones and element-proof fabrics like water-resistant and windproof 100 per cent cotton Ventile, accentuated with reflective details.
The collection also focuses on the interplay between indoor and outdoor experience – particularly prescient today when both those worlds have diminished in size. During the day, the collection’s reflective details appear invisible, but when illuminated with artificial light, they glow. ‘This creates a duality between daytime sunlight and nighttime artificial light, which is enhanced through the fact that the garments are reversable,’ Clar adds.
