Aritzia

Aritzia is committed to reconciliation efforts year-round. As part of this commitment, we’re proud to launch the Aritzia Indigenous Excellence Scholarship in partnership with Indspire — a national charity that supports Indigenous education and achievement within Canada. Each year, we’ll award five $5,000 scholarships to women-identifying Indigenous students who demonstrate excellence in post-secondary academic achievement and community engagement. Plus, the Government of Canada is matching our investment to double the impact. Designed for students in business, retail management, fashion merchandising, education, fine arts, Indigenous studies or social work — with a focus on women and mental health — the scholarship empowers recipients to achieve their highest potential. Applications are now open. Learn more and apply before November 1, here: https://lnkd.in/ez7ym-Uz

At Aritzia, we love giving back. So, for the third year in a row we invited our Aritzia Community™ partners to our Warehouse Sale for a special back-to-school shopping experience — on us. With the help of our partners like Big Sisters, Urban Native Youth Association, YWCA, Cause We Care Foundation and Union Gospel Mission, we provided 400 young women and girls with Aritzia Warehouse Sale Shop gift cards to use at our iconic Vancouver event.   To date, this initiative has positively impacted 1,000 young women and girls. And we’re excited to build on this tradition for many years to come.   Click the link to learn more about how we give back year-round: https://lnkd.in/eikWzdJ3

Everyday Luxury is more than beautiful clothes. It’s a dedication to creativity and excellence. And so much more.   Today, Aritzia CEO Jennifer Wong was inducted into The Business of Fashion 500 — a prestigious list of innovators and change-makers shaping the global fashion industry, today and tomorrow.    Read all about Wong's journey from part-time style advisor to CEO in her BoF 500 spotlight here:

Ahead of Orange Shirt Day (OSD) and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR) on September 30, Aritzia recognizes the tragic history of residential schools. We honour the survivors and lost children, their families and communities. Every Child Matters.   To commemorate OSD and NDTR 2024, we partnered with Iqaluit-born artist Saimaiyu Akesuk to create a limited-edition Orange T-shirt. Inspired by Arctic animals and insects, Saimaiyu’s artwork depicts a bird with outstretched wings — a design that came to her while thinking of all the ancestors and children lost over the years. “I am connected to them,” she says.   For Saimaiyu, projects like this fuel her passion to create even more art that honours and preserves Indigenous culture and traditions.   100% of proceeds from the t-shirt sales will be donated to Orange Shirt Society and other Indigenous community partners.*   Get your limited-edition Orange T-shirt today: https://lnkd.in/eN4D2z4N   *Proceeds are calculated as the retail selling price less variable costs. The total donation amount from this limited-edition Orange Shirt Day product collection will be $80,000 CAD if the entire collection sells at full price.

Our CEO, Jennifer Wong, is being recognized as one of WWD’s Women in Power — joining 50 inspiring female leaders shaking up the fashion, beauty, retail and footwear industries. Wong told WWD, “My journey has been marked by overcoming doubts with relentless hard work and staying true to myself.

When Aritzia first opened its doors in 1984, the idea was simple — offer beautiful clothes in aspirational spaces with exceptional service. 40 years later and that original idea has evolved into something we call Everyday Luxury.   Today, Everyday Luxury extends beyond our design philosophy. It’s a dedication to creativity and innovation. A lifestyle, a feeling, a community. It’s where the little things make a big difference.   It’s cashmere. Champagne on a Tuesday. Celebrating great clothes with great people.   It’s dressing up for a dog walk because you want to.   It’s a velvet couch, a book, your favourite sweater.   It’s pieces you’ll live in — and let live.   It’s Aritzia. And so much more.   Watch the video below to linger in the moment a little longer.   Interested in bringing Everyday Luxury to life? Good news — we’re hiring.

Proud Today, Pride Forever. In 2022, we launched the Aritzia x Stonewall Community Foundation (SCF) Scholarship to help support LGBTQIA2S+ students pursuing careers in fashion design, retail management, mental health and social justice advocacy. This year, the scholarship was awarded to four students. Here’s what recipient Sydnee Eubanks (she/her) had to share.   “This scholarship is allowing me to spend a semester in Italy where I'll be studying fashion, art and design. This is an incredible opportunity for me to develop my talents and pursue my goals of becoming a leader in the fashion industry who cultivates a space for others like me."    We look forward to many more years of partnership with SCF as we strive to create A Better Everyday. Together.™   Click the link to learn more about this year’s Aritzia x SCF Scholarship recipients: https://lnkd.in/eQkizUSD
