The Gucci website crashed after campaign launch of the collaboration with The North Face.
In the months since the collaboration was announced, customers have been patiently waiting to get a first look. Gucci president/CEO Marco Bizzarri previously told

"The North Face was founded in the Sixties in San Francisco and Alessandro is very much drawn to and interested in that decade, as well as the Seventies," Bizzarri said.
