The Gucci x The North Face Collection Has Almost Arrived
We finally know what’s in store for the much-anticipated drop.
The great outdoors are set to get even better now that the hotly anticipated Gucci x The North Face collection is nearly here. The brands just expanded on the teaser videos posted when the collaboration was announced several months ago with a new, longer look at what pieces will be a part of the offering.
In a video directed by image-maker Daniel Shea and set to Creedence Clearwater Revival’s groovy tune, “Bad Moon Rising,” we see a gaggle of stylish pals embark on a charming trek (for anyone who’s turned to more time in the wilderness during quarantine, this will resonate deeply) kitted out in puffer jackets, unisex hiking boots, glam dresses and vintage-tinged logo apparel. Archival fabrics are used throughout the collection to give it even more of the retro vibe Gucci continues to covet.
The fashion almost takes a backseat to the group’s accessories, which include luggage pieces, backpacks, tents and sleeping bags. The luggage pieces are crafted with the sustainably-minded material Econyl, a nylon fabric made with recycled materials.
According to Gucci’s IG, starting tomorrow (Wednesday, December 23rd) you can enter an online raffle for early collection access in select countries on the brand’s website; and the collection officially drops internationally in early January.
