Parkas by 14 Inuit designers were on display at a launch in New York City

Inuit designers across Canada will have their traditional parkas displayed around the world.

The designers come from nine communities in Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador. Canada Goose asked each seamstress to create a unique design as part of a new collection called Project Atigi — which is an Inuktitut word for parka.

“I’m feeling pretty honoured to take part in this, especially because it’s something that’s going to be put out to different parts of the world,” said Kristy King, a seamstress from Arviat, Nunavut.
