Decades later, the brand has a new image, and two great creative forces responsible for its rebirth: award-winning designer Adrian Aitcheson and Arcade Agency‘s creative director Pablo Mozo. Success on several collaborations, including the Team Canada apparel collection for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, made them an unstoppable match. Their resume and experience couldn’t lend a better fit. Among his many accomplishments, Aitcheson was responsible for the design of the Olympics collection for Roots, designed outerwear for Canada Goose, and was the design director at Ecko in New York City. I will always remember him for being the founder of Too Black Guys and being proud of watching Mary J Blige wearing a Canadian brand in her “Real Love” video. Am I dating myself yet? Bringing more than 10 years of experience to the table building brands, Mazo has seen the gamut having worked with Nike, Oh! Henry, Bluenotes, 55DSL, and Canada Goose, among others.
Is it any wonder that together the two designers bring forth a wealth of experience and a breath of fresh air to North Star? Take a look at some of their recent designs and help us embrace the return of North Star a Canadian classic.
