Copenhagen-based luxury couture designer Cecilie Bahnsen has reunited with performance apparel brand The North Face for their fourth collaborative chapter, marrying high-altitude technical gear with Scandinavian romanticism.
As Hypebae reports, the seven-piece capsule, first teased during Bahnsen’s Fall/Winter 2026 runway at Paris Fashion Week, pushes gorpcore into delicate new territory.
Grounded in an understated palette of TNF Black and Midnight Sky, the collection reimagines archive staples through Bahnsen’s signature lens. The standout piece is the first-ever Lucia Nuptse Short Jacket, which crops the iconic puffer silhouette and adorns it with tactile Superpose floral embroidery. The ready-to-wear offering is rounded out by the Sofia Insulated Crew Neck Top and the technical Symone Dotknit Top.
Accessories and footwear receive an equally dreamy makeover. The Meghan Small Crevasse Cinch Bag and Amalia Waist Pack arrive accented with dimensional floral appliqués and custom hardware, while the rugged Martina Verto Alpine Mid hiking boot and cozy Angela ThermoBall Mule fuse trail-ready utility with Bahnsen’s sculptural, feminine touch.
Lensed by photographer Pia Riverola, the campaign captures athletes Iris Pham and Molly Thompson-Smith alongside models across Copenhagen’s industrial Refshaleøen, spotlighting sisterhood, movement and outdoor community.
The Cecilie Bahnsen x The North Face FW26 collection dropped November 2 on the Cecilie Bahnsen website, with a wider release on The North Face website and select retailers on November 5.
