THE NORTH FACE’S BLACK SERIES COLLECTION

With the mantra “Born on the Highest Peaks. Reimagined for the City,” The North Face introduces Black Series, its first premium global city collection designed for trailblazers who seek daring creative risks and innovative technology such as the new breathable, waterproof material FUTURELIGHT. Blending progressive silhouettes, top performance and an urban edge, Black Series enters the design-driven arena with a feminine approach. Spearheaded by Head of Global Creative Tim Hamilton, Black Series is inspired by The North Face’s solid mountain heritage and its most technologically advanced materials and constructions, paired with imaginative fashion-forward shapes that offer a minimalist, modern aesthetic for the city explorer. “With Black Series, we have created the next step in the evolution of The North Face as a brand that dares to disrupt and push the boundaries of innovation to deliver timeless designs that are built to last a lifetime,” said Hamilton. “In concepting the collection, we took inspiration from The North Face Archival Library, selecting styles that were born in the mountain, distilling them to their purist form, and rebuilding them into timeless reimaginations.” To create Black Series, Hamilton brought together a variegated team of designers whose experience spans from haute couture to technical sportswear. The result is a collection filled with ultra-feminine silhouettes as well as gender-neutral and men’s pieces.
