The North Face x Gucci Chapter 2 ready-to-wear selection comprises different styles and designs, including a number of bombers and vests that feature the classic GG monogram all-over as well as reimagined styles from The North Face iconic ‘90s attire, decorated with colorful prints, some of which inspired by Gucci’s archive. Additionally, the collection presents an exclusively designed selection of outerwear applied to remastered iconic styles from the ‘70s that features the latest proprietary technologies from The North Face, the brand’s latest best in class construction and technology. Key elements of these styles focus on a minimalist approach to performance and function, including the use of an ultralight bonded baffle construction instead of stitching, unique yarn constructions to thermoregulate during wear, and transfer printing on a nylon base.
The second chapter of The North Face x Gucci collection embodies the commitment of both partner brands to support eco-sustainable activities with the use of ECONYL® – a nylon fabric created from regenerated materials (fishing nets, carpets and other scraps) that can be recycled and recreated, decreasing its environmental footprint. Additionally, 100% of the down insulation is certified to the Responsible Down Standard by Control Union.
The collection will be distributed through designated stores and ephemeral Gucci Pop-Ups, where the spaces will be imagined to suggest a clean icescape. In North America, dedicated Gucci Pop-Ups will open mid-January at New York’s Fifth Avenue, Aspen, Chicago, and Toronto Bloor. A dedicated product selection will also be available from The North Face stores in New York, Beijing, Shanghai and Tokyo. Furthermore, a limited selection of The North Face x Gucci pieces will also be on sale on gucci.com.
