It is no coincidence that in street style photos we have already seen it worn by some of the most popular fashionistas and tops such as Emily Ratajkowski, Hailey Bieber or Kendall Jenner, in bright colors such as yellow, red, or in the more classic versions , in chocolate brown or black, to accompany sportier looks, casual outfits (matched with jeans and Ugg boots) or even more elegant pieces, such as vinyl trousers and heeled boots, in more daring combinations.

The iconic model: The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse
In just a few decades the brand – thanks also to excellent collaborations – has built an increasingly sophisticated image, to the point of becoming a cult streetstyle brand, without however giving up its technical DNA. Its jackets combine high performance and urban style thanks to the retro-inspired square cut and instantly recognizable color block design.
The North Face 1966 Retro Nuptse model (named after the Tibetan mountain located southwest of Mount Everest, where “Nup” means west and “Tse” means top) was created in 1992 for a 55-day expedition as part of the ‘innovative Expedition System, a layering system designed for the high mountains and tested by the team’s athletes. It was the first jacket to feature an innovative compartment structure that minimized down movement and increased warmth.
Much of his success was due to his entry into the street and skate scene, becoming the symbol of 90s hip hop culture. Since 1996, after several revisitations proposed by the brand, this down jacket has maintained its authenticity without ever losing its recognizable, nostalgically inspired silhouette. It is the most searched for product on The North Face website, and year after year it confirms itself as an autumn-winter best-seller.

What does the logo on The North Face jacket represent?
The North Face was founded in 1964 by billionaire ecologist Douglas Tompkins and his friend Kenneth Klopp, both avid hikers, when the two decided to open in a small mountain equipment shop in the North Beach area of San Francisco.
