B$Z: Fjällräven Taps Chris Burkard to Launch Own the Cold Campaign
November 9, 2015
The Swedish heritage outfitter unveils its Fall-Winter 2015 brand campaign: Own the Cold. Fjällräven once again partnered with legendary outdoor photographer Chris Burkard to capture its seasonal campaign.
The series of photography and film takes us on a tour into the Canadian Rockies. Inspired by the adventurous spirit of the new tribe of outdoor enthusiasts, the campaign follows an overland journey through the glacial flats of Calgary, into Banff’s Bow Valley and to the summit of Mt. Assiniboine (a.k.a. The Matterhorn of the Rockies), an arrowhead peak that scrapes the sky at 12,000-feet high. Met by sunshine, rain and snow along the way, Burkard captures Fjällräven in its element: as a durable brand built to withstand all weather conditions.

The campaign also highlights new sweaters, pants, layering pieces, accessories and offers a preview of the brand’s forthcoming eco-friendly tent collection slated to drop in early 2016.
