The North Face and Cecilie Bahnsen Just Dropped the Ultimate Fashion Hike 🏔️👗🌿
Forget everything you thought you knew about functional fashion. The North Face, the name synonymous with rugged outdoor gear, has joined forces with Cecilie Bahnsen, the queen of hyper-feminine, sculptural silhouettes. This unlikely pairing brings together two worlds, blending the technical prowess of The North Face with Bahnsen's ethereal, couture-inspired designs. The outcome is a collection that's as unexpected as it is covetable, proving that practicality and high fashion can, in fact, coexist – and look damn good doing it.
This isn't your average collab. Bahnsen has taken The North Face's heritage pieces and injected them with her signature ethereal DNA. The iconic Mountain Jacket reimagined as a Mountain Dress, complete with the kind of detailing you'd expect to see on a Paris runway, not a mountainside.
The collection features a muted, monochromatic palette of black, letting the innovative silhouettes and intricate details take centre stage. We're talking 3D floral appliqués, scalloped edges, and the kind of couture-inspired touches that elevate these pieces far beyond your typical outdoor gear. It's about creating a sense of effortless elegance, where you can transition from a city stroll to a weekend hike without missing a beat.
But it's not just about aesthetics. The collaboration also celebrates female strength and artistry. The campaign features rock climbers and The North Face athletes Solenne Piret, Brooke Raboutou, and Molly Thompson-Smith. These women embody both elegance and strength while scaling rocks in the collection’s designs, showing the harmony between the brands.
This collaboration is a bold statement, a testament to the power of unexpected pairings. It's about pushing boundaries, challenging conventions, and proving that fashion can be both beautiful and functional. And frankly, we're here for it.
The North Face x Cecilie Bahnsen collection is available at select The North Face retail locations, online, and at ceciliebahnsen.com. Prices range from £225.00 for the Base Camp Clutch to £800.00 for the Mountain Dress.
