The holiday capsule collection will be available at RW&Co. stores across Canada as well as online in early November.
Joe Fezzuoglio, RW&Co.’s men’s merchandise manager, says Christensen was involved in every phase of product development for the collection.
The line is said to be characterized by Christensen’s love of rich colours, pattern and texture, with deep plum, teal and mustard set to be featured.
A camouflage-lined jacket and a reversible graphic print sweatshirt are among the pieces slated to be showcased in the collection.

“I’m looking forward to wearing my designs.”
