International fashion retailer END. and outdoor brand The North Face have launched their second ‘Remade’ capsule collection.
It sees the brands transform reclaimed products to give them a new life while also highlighting the Himalayan Down Parka Jacket’s 30th anniversary.
Following on from their debut collection last year, the pair have relinked to unveil a selection of one-of-a-kind garments that have been re-constructed by hand from reclaimed products “in an effort to keep gear in use longer by giving it a new life”.
Built from a selected mix of unrepairable product, each piece of the seven-piece capsule exhibits the two brands’ “distinctive creative vision”.
Constructed from The North Face’s trademark black down-filled jackets in Glasgow, each garment “offers an innovative twist on the brand’s classic style” and sees the Himalayan Down Parka used as a blank canvas “for a more formal take on the outdoor brand’s mountaineering DNA”.
Centring around three apparel pieces and four accessories, the monochromatic range combines The North Face style with an experimental outlook to create a limited edition run.
The Remade Himalayan Hoodie turns the outerwear essential into a popover down hooded jacket, while the Himalayan Cargo Pant sees trousers built from shell jacket fabric and detailed with the Himalayan Down Parka’s cargo pockets “to create a dynamic and voluminous look”.
The versatile Remade Himalayan 2-in-1 Skirt can be worn together or as separate pieces. Featuring a detachable mini-skirt constructed from the bottom half of a recycled shell jacket and a larger down skirt made from deconstructed sleeves and back panels from the Himalayan Parka, the 2-in-1 Skirt “supplies dramatic flair and a layered experimental attitude”.
Accessories include the Remade Down & Fleece Beanie hat, which converts a core winter accessory into a unique statement piece; the Remade Himalayan Crossbody bag made from a combination of two jackets, and “the pièce de résistance of the accessories” offer comes in the form of a shawl inspired by the dramatic clothing worn for red carpet and gala events.
All proceeds raised from the collection will be donated to Protect Our Winters UK, an outdoor climate action charity helping people become effective climate advocates to achieve systemic solutions to climate change.
The END. x The North Face ‘Remade’ collection is available online on 11 October.
