The second collaboration between Cecilie Bahnsen and The North Face accomplishes something I once found impossible: assembling an actually-chic rainy day outfit.
Sure, I've traveled to Copenhagen Fashion Week for several seasons in a row and seen how Bahnsen, one of Denmark's standout design talents, expertly balances artistry and practicality. I've sat in her atelier and heard directly from the designer about the "everyday couture" mindset that's defined her cult-beloved label for over a decade. "You are eventually designing for a woman to wear it and not just only for your creative vision," Bahnsen told me. "I think that's very interesting for me, kind of like a puzzle to solve."
