After a runway debut at Paris Fashion Week, Cecilie Bahnsen officially unveils her latest collaboration with The North Face, marking the duo’s second creative encounter. Together, they continue to expand a shared design language that fuses couture craftsmanship with outdoor innovation—a space where delicacy meets endurance and beauty becomes practical armor.
At its core, the FW25 collection is about warmth, adaptability, and refined motion. The standout piece, a waist-adjustable Himalayan Parka, is paired with a quilted skirt, transforming utilitarian gear into architectural elegance. The iconic Denali Fleece reemerges in a softer, more sculptural form, while footwear such as the Verto boots and Traction Mule sandals are reimagined with technical fabrics and precise detailing. Every element serves a dual purpose: performance and poetry.
Visually, the collection unfolds in a palette of earthy neutrals and muted winter tones, richer and more nuanced than in the duo’s first outing. The aesthetic balance feels instinctive—tactile, quiet, and human—a continuation of Bahnsen’s signature femininity grounded in The North Face’s functional DNA.
Shot by Ellen Fedors along the Swedish coastline, the campaign features trail runner Ida-Sophie Hegemann and climber Melina Constanza, alongside a cast of models that embody the project’s essence: movement and serenity intertwined. The result is less a campaign than a meditation on how utility can become grace, and how design can thrive between the natural and the crafted.
