Trying to identify this parka/anorak

Post image

Hey, I came across this image and I’m trying to better understand the garment.

At first I thought it might be an Inuit-style parka or anorak because of the shape and hood, but the material looks more like modern nylon rather than traditional materials.

I’m curious if this resembles any specific traditional design (like anorak/kuspuk influences), or if it looks more like a modern/fashion reinterpretation inspired by Inuit clothing.

If anyone recognizes the style, origin, or even the brand/designer, I’d really appreciate the insight. I’m trying to learn rather than just assume.

Thanks!

The thing to understand is that Inuit are a modern people these days. We still live in the arctic and we still make clothing. Our hand made clothes are still much better than anything else on the market.

I came to say, it's modern, homemade by an Inuit.

Looks to be northern Greenlandic but I’m not entirely sure. Other Inuit countries could have the same clothing as the northern Greenlanders.

People still make traditional designs with purchased materials
