“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” star Simu Liu is the new global brand ambassador for Canadian outerwear brand Nobis.
The same vision: On Oct. 13, Canadian luxury outerwear brand Nobis announced their global brand ambassadorship with Marvel’s Simu Liu in celebration of their 15th anniversary, according to a company press release.
- Nobis, Latin for “us,” is an Asian-Canadian-owned premium outerwear and accessory brand that was launched in 2007. According to their site, the brand “takes performance textiles and technological innovations for outerwear, footwear and accessories, and applies them to timeless silhouettes.”
- “To me, this new adventure with Nobis is personal — it has provided me with the chance to help continue to pave the way for those who are denied opportunity based on their ethnicity, in ways that bring their voices and stories to the forefront,” Liu shared. “I truly stand behind Nobis and the notion of defying society’s parameters through fashion.”
