The new Timberland X icebreaker collaboration designed for the present with the future in mind
Founded in 1995, local favourite icebreaker set out to pioneer ethical and sustainable performance clothing. In 2023 the brand continues to challenge the status quo all the while championing a transparent and conscious business ethos.
This winter, icebreaker has joined forces with global icon Timberland presenting a capsule collection for both men and women, designed for the present with the future in mind. ‘Move to natural’ features clothing constructed with icebreaker's legendary merino wool and a pair of sneakers that are sturdy enough to tackle harsh elements but conscious enough to respect the environment. The apparel and footwear are available in colourways that pay homage to the tone of both brands, we can expect to see layers of earthy hues, shades that represent our vibrant seasons and strong blacks for every occasion.
“At icebreaker, nature is our biggest inspiration. It influences everything we do, from the fibres we grow to the functional pieces we design and create. Collaborating with Timberland felt like a natural step – two brands united by a commitment to help reduce our impact. This collection combines icebreaker’s natural fibres and soft geometry design lines with Timberland’s iconic heritage aesthetic - enabling us to create versatile, timeless, durable pieces for the outdoors and urban adventures.” - Jelena Fursman, Global Design Manager for icebreaker.
Hailing from separate sides of the globe, the two brands are united by their commitment to reducing fashion’s impact on our environment, this collection incorporates some of nature's best performance materials such as sugarcane, sustainable rubber and of course merino wool. Sustainability isn’t just a feature of icebreaker’s products, it’s in the values and core design of the business. Bridging the gap between urban and rural living ‘Move to Natural’ is suitable for scaling mountain peaks and just as relevant for our weekly grocery shop. Gorpcore is here to stay and the Remix team will be nailing the brief by pairing our Timberland x icebreaker Trailquest Low Waterproof Sneakers with our favourite blazer and icebreaker x Timberland Merino Linen Top this winter.
