A Winter Collaboration Like No Other
The North Face x SKIMS
Get ready, because The North Face and SKIMS are teaming up for a winter collection that’s about to elevate your cold-weather wardrobe. This collaboration blends The North Face’s legendary outdoor gear with SKIMS’ signature fit and killer color palette. The result? A collection that works just as well on the slopes as it does at your post-ski hangout.
"I’m so excited to announce this exclusive collaboration between The North Face and SKIMS," says Kim Kardashian, SKIMS co-founder and Chief Creative Officer. "This partnership marks SKIMS’ first foray into winter wear, and teaming up with The North Face allowed us to tap into their incredible expertise. The collection fuses functional clothing with flattering designs, perfect for the winter season. Having spent so much time on the slopes myself, I’m definitely inspired by this collection and can’t wait to rock these styles on my next trip."
The collab is being showcased through two striking campaigns. The first, shot by Vanessa Beecroft, takes us to the breathtaking mountains of Chile, where the collection is shown in action on the slopes. The second campaign stars none other than Kim Kardashian herself, captured by Donna Trope. Kim’s rocking the Dot Knit Top and Dot Knit Bottom — pieces that highlight the collection's monochrome elegance and versatile performance.
When it came to creating this limited-edition collection, comfort and function were the top priorities. SKIMS drew from The North Face’s extensive archive of iconic designs while incorporating its own signature body-contouring silhouettes. The result? A collection that marries style and performance seamlessly. SKIMS’ shaping base layers fit perfectly under The North Face’s outerwear, enhancing your natural shape without sacrificing warmth or function.
"At The North Face, innovation and functionality are always our top priorities, and this collaboration is no exception. We’ve combined The North Face’s proven designs and premium materials with SKIMS’ signature style, and the result is a collection that’s truly special," says David Whetstone, Director of Collaborations and Energy at The North Face. "The North Face is always inspired by innovative brands that push cultural boundaries, and SKIMS is one of those brands."
Jens Grede, SKIMS’ CEO, adds, "At SKIMS, we’re always looking to the future, designing functional clothing for our customers. Partnering with The North Face allowed us to combine their expertise with our own creative solutions, resulting in one of our most technically advanced collections to date."
The collaboration will also offer an exclusive shopping experience that brings together the visual identities of both brands. The design combines SKIMS’ signature monolithic shapes with The North Face’s precise hardware and technical details, creating a cohesive and unique aesthetic. The monochromatic, matte color palette ties everything together, perfectly reflecting both brands' style.
The North Face x SKIMS collection drops on December 10, 2024, and will be available at SKIMS.com, in SKIMS stores, select The North Face locations, and luxury retailers like SSENSE, Highsnobiety, and Luisa via Roma.
