(SGI) In celebration of International Women’s Day (March 8), The North Face (TNF) released an all-female, limited capsule collection consisting of technical-fabric T-shirts and tote bags. The collection is manufactured entirely in the country of Jordan at the Jerash Garment Factory, all of whose 500 posts are filled by women. The factory’s founder, the activist Oryana Awaisheh, has overseen the capsule’s design, execution and advertising campaign, which features women in music, art, business and sport. Four of these women – the singer Jess Glynne, the freeride champion Marion Haerty, the adventurer Sofia Jin and the stuntwoman Marie Mouroum – are now ambassadors for TNF. The International Women’s Day collection is sold through TNF’s website and selected retailers.
