The collaboration between The North Face and the Danish brand Cecilie Bahnsen returns for its third chapter, presented during Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026, marking an evolution toward lighter, more modular, and more intuitive performance wear. After building an increasingly solid dialogue between technical functionality and contemporary femininity, this new capsule moves toward a more fluid dimension, designed to adapt to movement and the changes of the day.

Designed for the warmer months, the collection lightens both materials and construction while keeping its technical soul intact. The silhouettes transform and layer up, creating a dynamic wardrobe in which practicality and aesthetic sensitivity coexist naturally.

Modularity is the capsule’s common thread. A floral ripstop jacket with removable sleeves transforms into a vest, while the matching trousers turn into shorts. The floral motif, a distinctive element of Bahnsen’s visual language, runs through the entire collection, creating continuity between romantic aesthetics and functionality. Alongside these pieces, a second line in embossed ripstop in olive tones introduces new interpretations of wind protection, with a cinched-waist pullover and a long hybrid coat that falls softly on the body.

Accessories also expand this dialogue between function and delicacy. The Base Camp Duffel is reworked with a more architectural approach, while the Maria clutch in translucent ripstop, fastened with a flower-shaped carabiner, translates the designer’s romantic aesthetic into a technical object. Completing the capsule is the “shandal,” a hybrid between a sandal and a technical shoe enhanced by the collection’s iconic floral appliqué.

The campaign, photographed by Ellen Fedors and starring The North Face athlete Angie Scarth-Johnson, unfolds along the scenic route between Bergen and Finse, Norway. Nordic landscapes become the setting for a story about the anticipation of travel and the moments before adventure begins, when movement has not yet started but everything is already in transformation.

Made up of seven pieces, the capsule includes the Marlowe Pullover Wind Jacket, the Emma Long Wind Mountain Jacket, the Tenzin Convertible Jacket, the Carla Convertible Pant, the Anna Base Camp Duffel, the Maria Translucent Base Camp Clutch, and the TNF x CB Saçdal, all rendered in the Forest Night Green palette.
