The North Face and Skims Drop Second Collection Featuring Kidswear

The highly anticipated collaboration between two industry titans, The North Face and Skims, makes its return with a new limited-edition winter collection. Building on the success of their initial partnership, this second drop not only redefines cold-weather style but also marks an exciting milestone with the introduction of a first-ever kidswear assortment, extending the collection's appeal to families.

This latest collection thoughtfully expands upon last year's debut, presenting an array of new and beloved styles designed for optimal performance and sophisticated aesthetics. Shoppers can anticipate a diverse range of outerwear, essential base layers, and versatile separates, all meticulously constructed from advanced performance fabrics engineered to withstand harsh winter conditions while allowing for unrestricted movement. The entire line is presented in a refined winter color palette, featuring elegant shades of Bone, Kyanite, Gunmetal, Phoenix, and Onyx, ensuring both functionality and contemporary style.

Mark your calendars for December 9, as the collection becomes available to the public. Accessibility and inclusivity are key features, with prices thoughtfully set to range from $55 to $800. The collection caters to a broad audience, offering adult sizes from XXS to 3XL, alongside a comprehensive new kidswear range spanning 0-24 months and 2T-7T, ensuring that the entire family can embrace this unique blend of fashion and function.

Kim Kardashian, co-founder and chief creative officer of Skims, expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration's evolution. "I’m so thrilled to announce the second The North Face x Skims collaboration," she stated. "With this new collection, we wanted to continue pushing the boundaries of what winterwear can look and feel like. Every detail, from the fabrics to the silhouettes, was designed to merge functionality with the sleek, modern aesthetic that defines Skims." Highlighting the personal significance of the new addition, Kardashian added, "Family is such a big part of my life, so I’m especially excited to introduce kidswear this season and continue expanding our offerings for everyone."

To celebrate the launch, a captivating campaign was shot amidst the dramatic slopes of the Chilean mountains, skillfully captured by photographers Laura Obermeyer and Jackie Nickerson. The stunning visuals seamlessly blend dynamic action imagery with sophisticated editorial compositions, effectively showcasing the collection against a breathtaking natural backdrop. This visual direction brilliantly highlights the inherent contrast between Skims’ signature form-fitting silhouettes and The North Face’s storied performance-driven heritage, underscoring the collaborative spirit.

David Whetstone, director of design for global collaborations and energy at The North Face, echoed the sentiment of progress and innovation. "Building on last winter’s collaboration with Skims, this second season further solidifies our collective proposition integrating best-in-class technical innovation, design excellence, and a clear point of view on fit," Whetstone affirmed. He elaborated on the synergy, stating, "Each piece leverages our on-mountain expertise and integrates Skims’ focus on form and aesthetic, shifting the expectation of what performance gear can be." This partnership continues to redefine winter apparel, proving that high performance can indeed meet high fashion.
