Planning and Production

NAMARA commissioned Berlin-based, Canadian artist Shannon Bool to reconsider Canada Goose’s iconic Snow Mantra. Bool’s starting point was the Wiener Werkstaette, an avant-garde artistic movement from late 19th century Germany that countered the academic standards of art-making of the time. Funktionsumhang (Function Cape) makes use of Mathilde Flögel's graphic embroidery pattern, complementing and challenging the technological aspects of the Parka resulting in a sculptural garment.
