The North Face x Yinka Ilori: A Bold Fusion of Art and Adventure

The North Face has teamed up with British-Nigerian artist and designer Yinka Ilori MBE for a stunning new collection that’s as bold as it is joyful. Titled NSE x Yinka Ilori, the capsule draws inspiration from the colors of nature—think mountain landscapes and sunsets over city skylines—and transforms them into vibrant, wearable art. Known for his use of bright, uplifting colors and abstract patterns, Ilori has applied his signature style to outdoor gear, bringing a fresh, optimistic take to The North Face’s iconic “Never Stop Exploring” ethos.

The collection includes eye-catching pieces like the 2L Rainshell Jacket, Down Puffer Jacket, and Fleece tops and pants, all designed to make you rethink your relationship with weather. Ilori's playful designs encourage us to celebrate the rain, embrace the cold, and welcome storms with a smile. Whether you're hiking through a mountain trail or navigating city streets, this collaboration offers gear that’s both functional and full of personality.

Inspired by Nigerian storytelling and childhood wisdom, Ilori’s art invites us to see the beauty in what might seem ordinary or dreary. In this collaboration, he uses fashion as a canvas to promote positivity, optimism, and the belief that even the darkest days can be full of color. It’s a fresh perspective on outdoor wear that blends art with adventure, giving explorers a reason to face the elements in style.

The NSE x Yinka Ilori collection is available now on The North Face website, in select stores, and at partner retailers.
