As streetwear is becoming a constituent part of the luxury high fashion scene and the aesthetic of adventure-forward and utilitarian clothing designs is becoming highly desirable, brands like The North Face find themselves in the midst of the storm and this is evident through this ultra-chic outerwear runway. Arranged in collaboration with HYKE, the collection presents incredibly elegant, minimalist and monochromatic outfits that are also quite function-forward in their design.
Definite highlights of The North Face x HYKE collab are oversized puffy jackets, coats with exaggerated necks, convertible pants, as well as TNF-branded hoodies and crewnecks. In addition, the chic outerwear runway spotlights an "enormous GORE-TEX coat with fringed zippers" that is an effortless attention-grabber.
