Cecilie Bahnsen reunites with The North Face for their fourth collaboration, introducing a seven-piece Fall Winter 2026 collection that combines technical outdoor clothing with her distinctive approach to feminine design. The partnership continues to explore the possibilities of performance apparel through delicate textures, floral details and carefully considered silhouettes.

Bahnsen first previewed the collection during her Fall Winter 2026 runway presentation at Paris Fashion Week. The latest release develops the relationship between the designer’s romantic aesthetic and The North Face’s technical expertise, applying decorative elements to practical pieces intended for outdoor activities and everyday dressing.
The collection features a restrained colour palette of TNF Black and Midnight Sky, allowing its textures and construction details to take prominence. Bahnsen draws from The North Face’s archives, updating familiar designs through embroidery, sculptural shapes and dimensional floral applications.
The Lucia Nuptse Short Jacket leads the collection as a new interpretation of the brand’s recognisable puffer jacket. Bahnsen introduces a cropped silhouette and Superpose floral embroidery, bringing additional texture to the insulated design. The shorter proportions give the jacket a different shape while maintaining its connection to The North Face’s established outerwear vocabulary.
Two additional clothing pieces expand the collection. The Sofia Insulated Crew Neck Top introduces another insulated option, while the Symone Dotknit Top incorporates technical fabric into Bahnsen’s design language. Together, the three garments establish the ready-to-wear offering, with each piece exploring a different aspect of functional clothing.
Accessories receive particular attention through the Meghan Small Crevasse Cinch Bag and Amalia Waist Pack. Both designs feature dimensional floral appliqués and custom hardware, extending Bahnsen’s decorative approach beyond clothing. Their familiar functional formats provide the foundation for details that connect them visually to the rest of the collection.
Footwear completes the seven-piece release with two distinct styles. The Martina Verto Alpine Mid adapts a rugged hiking boot through Bahnsen’s sculptural design approach, retaining its connection to technical outdoor footwear. The Angela ThermoBall Mule introduces a more relaxed option, bringing insulated comfort into the collaboration’s coordinated selection of clothing and accessories.
Across the collection, Bahnsen explores how decorative techniques can influence the appearance of technical products. Floral embroidery, appliqués and changes in proportion give established outdoor styles a new visual direction. The limited colour selection also creates consistency across the different categories, connecting outerwear, tops, bags and footwear through shared design details.
Photographer Pia Riverola captures the accompanying campaign in Refshaleøen, an industrial area of Copenhagen. The images feature athletes Iris Pham and Molly Thompson-Smith alongside models, placing the collection within a setting that brings its technical character into focus.
The campaign centres on movement, sisterhood and outdoor community, presenting the collaboration through a group of women whose activities and interactions inform the visual narrative. The Cecilie Bahnsen x The North Face Fall Winter 2026 collection launches on November 2 through the Cecilie Bahnsen website. The North Face website and selected retailers will follow with a wider release on November 5.
