The North Face and Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen have announced their second collaboration, launched during Bahnsen’s Fall/Winter 2025 show at Paris Fashion Week. 

The new collection continues the partnership’s focus on combining high-performance outerwear with Bahnsen’s signature sculptural and feminine designs.

Expanding on their first collaboration, the range features updated materials, enhanced layering systems, and refined winter-ready details, building on The North Face’s mountaineering heritage and Bahnsen’s couture aesthetic.

To launch the collection, the brands released a campaign shot along Sweden’s Mølle and Kullaberg coastlines, photographed by Ellen Fedors and styled by Emelie Johansson. 

The campaign features The North Face athletes Ida-Sophie Hegemann and Melina Costanza, and captures the contrast between movement and stillness, a central theme of the collaboration.

“The campaign is about wanderlust and authenticity, about finding strength in landscapes that feel both intimate and infinite,” said Bahnsen. 

“It was important to me that the women in the images, whether athletes or models, embody a sense of determination, but also ease. That balance feels true to how I design, and to how these pieces should live in the world.”

The range, designed to combine femininity and function, includes an adjustable Himalayan parka, a quilted down skirt, and an oversized down jacket featuring Bahnsen’s signature detailing. 

The collection also features reimagined versions of the Denali fleece jacket, a wool DotKnit base layer, a crossbody rope bag, and updated Verto boots and Traction Mules.

“In our second collaboration with Cecilie Bahnsen, we’ve looked at icons of the past and present through her lens,” said The North Face’s design director, David Whetstone. 

“Together, we’ve explored the edges of our brand through silhouette, materialization, and technique all while honoring both brands’ DNA.”
