Photographed by Pia Riverola in Copenhagen, the fourth collaboration brings together athletes and models to explore movement, craftsmanship and the collective spirit of the outdoors.
The creative dialogue between Cecilie Bahnsen and The North Face continues with a fourth collaboration, launching globally on November 5. Photographed by Pia Riverola in Copenhagen’s industrial Refshaleøen district, the campaign celebrates female solidarity through a shared appreciation of movement, nature and self-expression.
Climbers Iris Pham and Molly Thompson-Smith join models in a series of portraits that feel spontaneous and intimate. Set against Copenhagen’s industrial waterfront, the images capture women moving together, sharing space and bringing their own personalities to the clothes.
The seven-piece Fall/Winter 2026 collection gives The North Face’s outdoor essentials a distinctly Bahnsen touch. The Lucia Nuptse Short Jacket comes with floral embroidery, while technical layers, alpine boots and bags feature delicate details and unexpected volumes. Practical pieces, with room for a little romance.
After four collaborations, the two brands have found more common ground than their contrasting aesthetics might suggest. Outdoor clothing has made its way into Bahnsen’s collections, while her love of flowers, texture and craftsmanship continues to reshape familiar technical designs.
With creative direction by Moon International and styling by Emelie Johansson, the campaign brings that exchange to life through the women wearing the clothes. There is no need to choose between softness and strength.
