The North Face, in its first-ever launches the first capsule collection with Japanese independent designer Naohiro Fujisaki, extending its Urban Exploration SS25 theme of "Urban Evolution". Reinterpreting classic The North Face ICON pieces, while incorporating functional style with urban aesthetics and adding pops of color, the collection breaks away from traditional outdoor gear imagery to offer a new vision for boundaryless urban exploration and encourage explorers to see the city from a fresh perspective. The North Face has also partnered with artist Oscar Wang to create a physical representation of this new campaign. The "Blurred Border" immersive art installation, launching during Hong Kong Art Week, invites visitors to transcend traditional perspectives on exploration in a multisensory missive celebrating both The North Face and Hong Kong Culture.

王令塵「Blurred Border」藝術裝置空降香港 融合城市山海打造感官漂浮之旅
為慶祝全新 Urban Exploration 2025 春夏季系列正式推出,The North Face 聯同藝術家王令塵共同打造「Blurred Border」沉浸式藝術裝置, 引領大家一同踏進城市與大自然之間越趨模糊的界線,重新詮釋現代探索的概念。
Featuring The North Face's iconic 2-metre dome tent, Wang's installation deliberately integrates Hong Kong's distinctive topography and seamlessly blends local urban street elements with natural landscapes. These intricate details pay homage to the city's unique cultural heritage, while the dome symbolizes limitless possibilities for exploration.
As visitors approach the tent, they will be able to hear environmental sounds corresponding to nearby Hong Kong cultural patterns, such as cha chaan tengs, streets, and the subway, creating a seamless integration of urban and natural elements. Once inside the tent, visitors can feel a soft breeze, while images of the sky projected on the ground and reflected in mirrors create a floating sensation, which is captured in a photograph at the peak of their jump. The tent's interior, with its inverted sky and ground, generates a weightless and ethereal atmosphere, highlighting the collection's key design features.
藝術裝置以 The North Face 經典 2 米高圓頂帳篷為基礎,王令塵在設計整個藝術裝置時,特意加入香港獨特的人工山丘地貌,並融合本地城市街道元素與自然景觀,以精巧的細節向城市獨特的文化遺產致敬,而空靈穹頂則象徵無限探索可能。
During the exhibition period, The North Face is offering exclusive privileges to XPLR PASS members. By simply sharing event content on social media, members can receive a limited-edition instant film photo and more exploration rewards*.

Under Fujisaki's direction, the SS25 collection reimagines classic silhouettes like the Himalayan Suit, Hard Shell Mountain Jacket, and Denali Jacket, featuring signature elements from The North Face's iconic pieces in both the cuts and intricate details. Select items offer versatile styling with detachable components that can be worn independently. Thoughtful design details, including large pockets, multiple zippers, and tailored cuts, combined with DryVent fabric treated with a DWR water-repellent finish, ensure durability and functionality, providing urban explorers with a lightweight and comfortable wearing experience. Fujisaki also drew inspiration for the color palette from classic industrial design, accentuating the collection with vibrant orange hues.
To complement the collection, The North Face has released a series of campaign visuals, following the designer as he captures the vibrant essence of Tokyo with a camera. These visuals showcase the collection's ability to seamlessly transition through the city, embodying a journey of inspired evolution.
