Following last year's 2022 Earth Day collaboration, big time outdoor brand The North Face has again teamed with Grateful Dead adjacent Los Angeles-based streetwear label Online Ceramics to bring their trademark graphic, slogan-heavy touch to a second capsule collection of apparel, accessories, and even some lifestyle camping gear.
The bulk of The North Face x Online Ceramics collaboration collection consists of wearable items to keep campers and festival attendees draped in simple pieces from TNF’s well established catalog, like the 1995 Polartec Denali fleece and the Windjammer windbreaker, each with a smattering of Online Ceramic’s distinctive style that combines child storybook illustrations, photo prints, and bold slogans.
Within the collection (available now from Online Ceramics), the nostalgia-informed designers play with the obvious theme of outdoor recreation and the farther-out ideas about the cosmic interconnectivity of all things. BUILT FOR LIFE, STAR PERSON, and When We Put Water for Plants They Grow are just a sampling of what's found on the backs of anorak jackets and climbing pant legs.
