The collaboration merges Cecilie Bahnsen’s hyper-feminine, couture-inspired designs with The North Face’s expertise as a leading outdoor brand.

Inspired by The North Face’s iconic pieces from the past, particularly those designed by the late Ingrid Harshbarger, key offerings include the reimagined Mountain Dress, a sculptural reinterpretation of the classic Mountain Jacket, and fresh takes on the Basecamp Duffel and Glenclyffe Boot.

The collection highlights performance fabrics paired with best-in-class technical finishes, brought to life through Cecilie Bahnsen intricate detailing. Each silhouette captures a sense of sculptural volume and effortless lightness. Designed with exploration and elegance in mind, the outerwear pieces work as protective layers over Bahnsen’s delicate cloud-like forms, blending function, durability, and femininity. A timeless monochromatic palette of black reinforces the design language of both brands. Couture-inspired elements, such as 3D floral appliqués and flowing scalloped edges, contribute a delicate, feminine aesthetic to versatile designs made for everyday wear.

“I’ve always loved how women around the world wear my designs in their own way, and this collaboration builds on that spirit. The North Face’s technical expertise not only complements my designs but elevates how it’s lived in—effortless, functional, and ready for every day,” Cecilie Bahnsen, Founder and Creative Director explains.

To celebrate the release, the two brands have launched a campaign featuring The North Face athletes: 2024 Olympic silver medalist Brooke Raboutou, 2020 Olympic commentator and five-time UK national lead climbing champion Molly Thompson-Smith, and pro climber Solenne Piret.
