Reformation has partnered with Canada Goose to dream up whimsical and sustainable outerwear. In a seven-piece collection, parkas, vests and reversible puffers are resplendent with vintage-inspired prints, adding a certain joy to the dreary winter weather. What’s more, they’ve been intentionally designed for a circular life and feature a unique interior label that reads “Loved By,” so the name of each owner can be documented.

The preliminary results were showcased this week at a runway show where 27 one-of-a-kind fashion pieces embodied the art of transformation.
