KAWS x The North Face Collection

 

The North Face has revealed its second collaboration with world-renowned artist and designer KAWS. While the first collection was aimed at delivering added flair for the slopes, introducing colorful and reflective pieces, the upcoming series focuses on high-altitude performance, offering up a range of greyscale pieces centered around TNF’s Expedition System.

Launched in 1990, Expedition System was the most technically-advanced integrated clothing system at the time, built for traversing the planet’s coldest regions from the Himalayas to Antarctica. Relentlessly tested by North Face athletes, silhouettes from the program went on to launch many of TNF’s most iconic styles including the ‘95 Nuptse Jacket, Denali Mountain Jackets, and ‘94 Himalayan Parka, which are included in the collaboration dressed in KAWS motifs and abstract camo prints.

Both men’s and women’s styles are available as well as unisex accessories including rounded base camp duffels featuring backpack straps, down feather-filled Nuptse mitts, and co-branded beanies. Logo-embroidered tees and cuffed sweatpants arrive as year-round pieces and rounding out the joint series are ThermoBall™ Traction V Mules featuring padded uppers and collapsible heels.

This season’s North Face XX KAWS collection will be available online, via select TNF locations worldwide, and at select retailers beginning October 25. Prices range from $55 to $550 USD.
