Depending on who you ask, gorpcore is dead, dying, or back – or perhaps it never left. Regardless of how you see it, the trend’s cultural and commercial impact is undeniable. This panel will bring together the voices of influential brands, media, and retailers who are actively shaping gorpcore today. They will explore why legacy brands are reimagining retro styles for the city, why Parisian brands are defining their vision in the rural American West, and why a whole host of other outdoor players are honing in on the same urban, “stylish adventurer” archetype. Attendees will walk away with a historical yet forward-looking perspective on outdoor style and culture – equipping them with fresh strategies for modern consumer engagement through the lens of gorpcore and the future of functional fashion.
