It's been just a little more than a year since The North Face and Gucci's inaugural collection launched in select stores globally, but the buzz is nowhere near dying down. Now, the luxury label and the lifestyle brand are back with yet another exclusive release. Similar to the last, the theme is exploration. Only this time, they're equipping shoppers with everything they need to take on the snowcapped mountains in style.
In true Alessandro Michele fashion, the new drop is inspired by a sense of wanderlust and an appreciation for the great outdoors—but with a technical edge, thanks to The North Face. Michele's penchant for nature shines through in everything from the snow-covered tree prints and insulating pieces on offer to the boutique displays at the designated pop-up locations in New York, Aspen, Chicago, and Toronto.
As for the clothes in the lineup, there's a little bit of everything. For those who prefer a cozier route, there is a handful of intricately embroidered knits that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. Puffer vests, parkas, and other essential outerwear items are plentiful, while the accessories include a new take on Gucci's signature slides, logo-detailed hiking boots, and backpacks, as well as cold-weather essentials like beanies, scarfs, and logo-detailed socks.

Further standout designs include shearling mules and brightly colored fleece pullovers. Of course, the collection wouldn't be complete without a selection of insulating base layers. Think long johns and thermals, which are designed to trap body heat and keep you warm in style.
