From January 17th, get The North Face XX KAWS collection on the official website
With the collaboration The North Face XX KAWS, the American outdoor brand wanted to reinvent the “Freeride” and “Icons” collections. This is the first collaboration between the two, but surely there will be more collabs. For its creation, KAWS has been inspired by a "world beyond borders" using technical and iconic TNF designs as a basis.

KAWS, as a good urban artist based in Brooklyn, is a fan of streetwear and good outdoor clothing, especially the North American brand with which he now collaborates: “I have always admired the iconic garments of The North Face; They have been a must have for me in winter seasons for years. The design, stitching and details of their coats resemble the way I structure a painting, so during the creation of our collection, I treated the garments as if they were a blank canvas. I really enjoyed exploring their extensive archive of colors and fabrics as I would a new paint set,” says Brian Donnelly, the name on the 48-year-old famous artist's passport.

The proposal for The North Face XX KAWS plays with the idea of perception and visibility, something essential for those who move in environments such as in the mountains, where being seen from afar can be vital. For that reason, the patterns are decorated with a very diverse and striking range of colors. The North Face "Freeride" collection was originally designed to overcome long days in the snow thanks to its high-performance layers. Its functionality remains intact, but KAWS has added prints, reflective elements and its XX. A similar approach has been followed with the "Icons" collection, providing an energetic kick to such emblematic pieces as the 1996 Retro Nuptse.
