MR PORTER and 66°North launch exclusive capsule collection

MR PORTER and 66°North launch exclusive outerwear and accessories capsule collection inspired by Icelandic nature

Men’s style destination MR PORTER and Icelandic outerwear brand 66°North collaborate for the first time to launch a limited-edition exclusive capsule collection inspired by Icelandic nature.

Debuting on MR PORTER from 30^th October, following the launch of 66°North’s mainline collection, the exclusive four-piece capsule includes two outerwear styles and two accessories.

Within the two outerwear styles is 66°North’s iconic Dyngja puffer jacket and vest available in an all over print inspired by the colours of “Skófir” moss. The print was developed from photographs taken on a research trip the 66°North design team took in Iceland, whilst exploring the country’s impressive landscapes. Each Dyngja AOP style is completely unique, as the pattern falls differently on each piece, creating a totally individual product each time.  The outer layer of the jacket is made from recycled polyester and is insulated with a blend of goose and duck white recycled down, reclaimed from used clothing and bedding. The Dyngja puffer, originally produced in 2005, is one of 66°North’s most popular styles. It not only ensures protection from cold and harsh conditions, but it’s also comfortable enough to wear throughout your everyday commute.

“Inspired by the moss-covered stretches of Iceland, we crafted a garment merging nature with its people. The result is a meticulously designed camouflage, a testament to the combined artistry and dedication of our team, paying tribute to Iceland's natural beauty.” Kei Toyoshima, Creative Director, 66°North

To round off the capsule, 66°North’s core backpack and bum-bag styles have been reimagined in an exclusive ‘Glacial Clay’ colourway; drawing inspiration from the glaciers that dominate the landscape in many parts of Iceland. Made using a leftover PU rainproof material from past-season bags, the styles reference the brand’s fisherman heritage with reflective details and coated waterproof fabric.

Imagery and video content for the capsule has been shot by and modelled on 66°North’s long-term ambassador, outdoor explorer, and photographer, Benjamin Hardman.

The collection launches exclusively on MR PORTER on 30^th October.
