The North Face revealed The North Face XX KAWS collections, the brand’s first line of products designed with the legendary artist. With these collections, available for purchase in Hong Kong on 13 January, The North Face XX KAWS envisions a world “outside the lines” brought to life using the brand’s technical and iconic styles as a canvas.

Featuring the art of KAWS, his signature eye-catching, abstract patterns, and a bright, extensive color palette, The North Face XX KAWS plays with the theme of perception and visibility. The North Face Freeride collection, high-performance layers and outerwear designed for epic days on snow, gets reimagined with KAWS prints and reflectivity for peak performance and style on the mountain. The collaboration also takes The North Face Icons of Exploration collection to new levels, infusing new energy into the brand’s most beloved and timeless pieces, including the 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket.
