The North Face and Gucci have collaborated on a new collection of outerwear that is perfect for the upcoming fall and winter months. The collaboration reintroduces fan favorites and archival styles from The North Face’s history, dating back to the 1970s. A variety of classic silhouettes make their return with new kaleidoscopic prints, unique patterns, color blocking, and vibrant hues like vivid yellow, blue, green, and pink.
Standout pieces include a goose feather down padded ‘Siera Parka,’ the ‘Windjammer’ down vest, and the ‘Mountain Parka.’ The collection is comprised of puffer jackets, parkas, vests, windbreakers, and technical pants, making the range suitable for colder temperatures.
The North Face and Gucci’s new ‘Chapter 3’ collection is now available on Gucci’s website.
