The North Face x HYKE Autumn/Winter 18

The North Face x HYKE Autumn/Winter 18

The North Face and Hyke have revealed their second collaboration for an Autumn/Winter 2018 collection.

The North Face fuses technical and functional design of outdoor sportswear with the sensibility of HYKE. For their second season the two labels have expanded the collection where they designed 11 winter pieces with two colorways of dark navy and coyote brown. This line-up heavily utilizes down insulation as featured in the hooded Down Jacket, the longer Down Coat, a sweater-like collarless pullover, a cape, neck gaiter, and even in the Nuptse Long Boots. The other hooded jacket piece is a the minimalist GTX Long Coat with the complementing Bolero top. This season also presents a pleated bottom garment, the Shell Skirt, that has a flowing visual aesthetic. Characteristic to this collection is the two straps of fabric that hang off the garment's hem.

The collection will be available September 12 at THE NORTH FACE STANDARD FUTAKOTAMAGAWA and Isetan Shinjuku store and released at 11 other stores and the ISETAN ONLINE STORE on September 19.

Take a detailed look below.
