Canada Goose bolsters partnership with Central Saint Martins "to support upcoming talent"

Canada Goose has launched a multi-year partnership with Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, to help to nurture new design talent.

It follows the brand's previous collaboration with Central Saint Martins to launch a HUMANATURE Award for Responsible Design.

The new partnership builds on the existing relationship and "formalises both parties shared vision for a better future", incorporating a project that brings together Central Saint Martins’ MA Fashion and MA Material Futures courses.

Uniting science, technology, design, and fashion, the ambition is to create ground-breaking new materials and garments that push the boundaries of sustainability and functionality.

Juliette Streichenberger, President of EMEA & CGAG at Canada Goose, said: "This partnership represents a powerful opportunity to support upcoming talent, further innovation in design, and drive purposeful change from a grassroot level.

"We are thrilled to work with such a world-renowned design school to develop exceptional, emerging talent who have unparalleled potential to not only support us in our commitment to keep the planet cold and the people on it warm, but to truly propel the fashion and design industry forward."

During LFW in February 2023, Canada Goose and Central Saint Martins launched an immersive exhibition at the Lethaby Gallery in London, called ‘Keeping the Planet Cold’.

It showcased a curation of sustainable outerwear pieces, lifestyle objects and mixed media portfolios, featuring project outcomes from next generation designers including Yaku Stapleton, Arianna Ablondi Pedretti and Chie Kaya.
