<a href="https://www.gucci.com/int/en/st/capsule/the-north-face-gucci">#TheNorthFacexGucci</a>: A hashtag (which first popped up in late 2020)&nbsp;that has gotten fashion insiders hyped for 2021 is finally manifesting in reality as it launched&nbsp;in Malaysia&nbsp;on&nbsp;8th January 2020.

Partnering&nbsp;up with outdoor expert The North Face, Gucci&#39;s creative director Alessandro Michele has&nbsp;created&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gucci.com/int/en/st/capsule/the-north-face-gucci">a limited-edition collection that celebrates the spirit of exploration</a>.

To get you pumped for the launch, we shot an exclusive fashion story with Malaysia&#39;s celebrated Olympians &ndash;&nbsp;Goh Liu Ying, Welson Sim and Julian Yee&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;to showcase <a href="http://www.gucci.com/int/en/st/capsule/the-north-face-gucci">#TheNorthFacexGucci collection</a>.

Each of these star athletes resonates closely with the aesthetic and meaning behind the collection. For each of them, they are pioneers&nbsp;who embarked on an adventure to excel in their respective fields.

Similar to the core message of the collection, The North Face x Gucci collection takes fashion into a&nbsp;brand new playing field&nbsp;as a powerful instrument of freedom for one to express themselves - both physically and metaphorically.
