Weatherized Fall Technical Apparel

THE NORTH FACE Urban Exploration Launches its FW21 Capsule

— September 21, 2021 — Lifestyle
THE NORTH FACE Urban Exploration introduces its newest collections for the Fall/Winter 2021 season, breaking them down to a three-part series. It kicks off with 'Urban Sprawl,' followed by 'Urban Elegance' and finally, 'Urban Utility.' For the Urban Sprawl capsule, the brand draws inspiration from the surrounding nature characteristics.

This is translated through earthy palettes including light green and khaki brown, adorning a set of technical apparel designs. The silhouettes are made to be both functional and comfortable in any weather conditions, especially as the fall season approaches around the corner. Urban Elegance spotlights style through the lens of functionality, delivering pieces that are perfect for elevating a commuter wardrobe. This showcases minimal designs that are functional and made for the outdoors.
