COMME des GARÇONS and The North Face work in collaboration once again as the duo present a new capsule for the colder seasons ahead. It is defined by its strong streetwear shapes with large logos and minimal silhouettes. It is also detailed with a monochrome color palette.
One of the key pieces of the collaborative range is the military liner-style jacket with a collarless structure. It boasts a padded finish to provide warmth and is full of pockets for function. The utilitarian style makes it versatile to style. The rest of the range features items such as the half zip fleece designs and shell jackets, which are elevated classics and then it is all rounded out by co-branded tees.
