In the spring and summer of 2024, The North Face collaborated with Tokyo Design Collective, a creative center from Harajuku, Tokyo, for the first time to release The North Face TDC designer series inspired by urban exploration and functional clothing. This new series uses creative and flexible large-profile lines and transparent lightweight nylon fabric materials to build the spirit of urban exploration with a smart and elegant posture. It not only gives the wearer a comfortable and resistance-free wearing experience, but also creates diverse matching inspirations and is sustainable. Endless possibilities for exploration.
The light-length parka is made of lightweight nylon fabric that gently touches the skin. The smooth lines are combined with the overall shirring design. Under the sunlight projection, a cocoon silhouette as thin as cicada wings is outlined, just like the brisk wind that moves rhythmically in the city. It is refreshing. Pair it flexibly with a lightweight nylon T-shirt or a light and elegant bud skirt, with practical details such as adjustable drawstrings. One set can unlock the freedom to explore the city and cross the city boundaries with light wind.
This lightweight short windproof jacket is both windproof and breathable. The tear-resistant nylon fabric is soft and close to the skin, giving you a comfortable fit. There are silver-gray reflective logos on the chest and back, which condense the exploratory spirit and outdoor sports core of The North Face. The printed stowable hood helps explorers put on and take off freely. There is an invisible zipper on the back. When unfolded, the smooth lines reflect the plump and flexible layers. It can also be freely paired with a cotton T-shirt and loose overalls, creating a light and flexible silhouette. Functional aesthetics and multiple adjustable drawstring design details break the restrictions of urban street scenes and help the wearer interpret the true expression of “controlling the wind of freedom and traveling in the city with ease”.
Since VF Group announced its partnership with Tokyo Design Collective in 2023, the two parties have brought together a number of independent designers, artists, and brands to launch highly recognizable and exquisitely crafted products. In the spring and summer of 2024, The North Face TDC designer series combines urban aesthetics with functional fabrics, injecting a distinctive functional future look into the product line. The high degree of freedom of matching is like the brisk wind that moves rhythmically in the city. Every urban explorer’s imagination of wilderness scenes adds more vitality and inspiration, making exploration more possible.
The North Face TDC designer series injects light vitality into diverse scenes in cities and streets with natural and flexible smooth lines and stand-out silhouette designs. It rides the wind of freedom and lightly rides the city, explores the source of inspiration, and pursues more unrestricted ideas. Self-expression. The North Face TDC designer series will be available in the Urban Exploration Tmall flagship store and selected offline stores after April 1, 2024.
No matter where you are, the exploration never stops
