Okay, so, I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about this Cecilie Bahnsen and The North Face collab, and I gotta say, I was pretty curious. I mean, you’ve got these super feminine, almost dream-like designs from Cecilie Bahnsen, and then you’ve got The North Face, which is all about tough, practical outdoor gear. How on earth were they going to make that work? I couldn’t resist.
First, I spent some time reading up on both brands. I knew The North Face from way back – I mean, who hasn’t seen their iconic logo around, right? It turns out they started out as a small store in San Francisco, catering to hiking enthusiasts. Then there’s Cecilie Bahnsen, a Copenhagen-based designer known for these beautiful, voluminous dresses. Not exactly your typical hiking attire! I thought the differences between them were interesting.
I found out that this collab is going to be shown at Cecilie Bahnsen’s SS25 runway show in September. This got me really excited! So, I went ahead and started digging for any early sneak peeks or hints about what the collection might look like.
I came across some articles talking about a “Mountain Dress” and a “Mountain Jacket”. A dress, from The North Face? I was really interested, and then they mentioned some kind of “strategic ruching” on the jacket. Ruching! That’s definitely more Cecilie Bahnsen’s style. My mind was racing, imagining how they would put these elements together.
The more I read, the more I realized that this wasn’t just a random mashup of two brands. It sounded like they were really trying to blend the delicate, feminine aesthetic with the tough, functional side of things. Like, taking the beauty of Cecilie Bahnsen’s designs and making them durable enough to, you know, actually wear outside.
My Thoughts
I’m seriously excited to see the full collection in September. I think this collab is going to be a big hit. It’s like, fashion meets function, in the most beautiful way possible. I think I am going to buy one for myself.
