The Outdoor The North Face brand has announced its collaboration with the contemporary artist Kaws, who intends to blur the limits between style and functionality both in the mountain and outside it.

The North Face XX Kaws collection, available from February 17, shows a world imagined by Kaws "beyond the barriers" that comes alive using the characteristic and technical styles of the brand as canvas.

Kaws plays with the issue of perception and visibility through the collection, applying its striking abstract patterns and a bright color palette to accessories, exterior garments and parts for men, women and young people.

Among the most popular styles of The North Face, which are going to be renewed by Kaws, are the 1996 Nuptse retro jacket and its high -performance outer garments "freeride", designed for snow, the Freeride peto, the polar freeride lining andThe freeride jacket.

On the collaboration, Kaws said in a statement: "I have always admired the iconic garments of The North Face; I have had them in my winter closet for years.Its design, seams and details of their coats lend themselves to the way I structure a picture, so I treated the garments of our collection as a blank canvas.And I enjoyed exploring its extensive archive of colors and materials as I would have done with a new paint set ".

The North Face XX Kaws collection will be available on its website and in some The North Face stores from February 17.
