Cecilie Bahnsen and The North Face reunite for a FW25 collection, marking the continuation of their creative partnership. First presented during Bahnsen’s Paris Fashion Week show, the collaboration builds on the foundation of their debut capsule, extending the dialogue between couture craftsmanship and functional outerwear.
This new series refines the relationship between Bahnsen’s sculptural silhouettes and The North Face’s mountaineering precision through six apparel designs and two footwear models. Each piece is made to perform in outdoor conditions while maintaining the softness and detail associated with Bahnsen’s work. The Nuptse Jacket, a hallmark of The North Face design, appears here as a peplum-backed maxi version in navy, finished with hand-applied appliqué detailing that introduces a romantic edge to the technical garment.
Other highlights include the Expedition Maxi Skirt and the Lhotse Coat. The skirt features hand-stitched floral motifs across a charcoal base, while the coat arrives in cream with a cinched waist and subtle appliqué work. These details emphasize texture and proportion, creating harmony between protection and refinement. The collection’s palette of navy, cream, and charcoal underscores this balance through a deliberate tonality.
For accessories, Bahnsen adapts The North Face’s Base Camp Duffel into a handbag-sized piece, translating utility into a sculptural format. The same approach continues across the footwear: the Camp Mule and the Winter V Lace Boot. Both silhouettes feature floral quilting that mirrors the garments, while the mule introduces a bow detail that softens its technical foundation.
The campaign, photographed by Ellen Fedors and styled by Emelie Johansson, takes place along the coastlines of Mølle and Kullaberg in Sweden. The imagery alternates between quiet close-ups and open seascapes, expressing a sense of freedom. Models appear alongside athletes including trail runner Ida-Sophie Hegemann and boulderer Melina Costanza.
The Fall Winter 2025 Cecilie Bahnsen x The North Face collection will launch on October 30, available in Soil Brown and Black colorways through both brands’ channels.
