EditorialOUTSIDE THE LINES WITH THE NORTH FACE X KAWS DROP 2
20 October 2022Colouring outside the lines, The North Face transform their Icons of Exploration with a boundary breaking collaboration with seminal artist KAWS.
Continuing their collaborative relationship with legendary artist KAWS, The North Face offer up a second drop that transforms classic pieces from their product line with a flourish of visual appeal courtesy of Brian Donnelly.
Forgoing the previous capsule’s colourful outlook, this selection sees pieces from The North Face’s Icons of Exploration line rendered in subtle, tonal colourways, embellished with co-branded details and KAWS’ signature X’ed out eyes – typically seen across his charming companion characters.
From the 1994 Himalayan Parka to the 1986 Mountain Jacket, KAWS utilises these classic outdoor garments as blank canvases for his culturally resonant artworks. Known for his tendency to push the limits of traditional medium, with The North Face x KAWS, Donnelly creates new pieces of art through recognisable pieces and fan favourites.
