Carhartt WIP Fall/Winter 2015 Lookbook

 

 Carhartt WIP team up with Irish photographer Joshua Gordon and British artist Tim Head for an artistic approach to their Fall/Winter visuals.

Continuing to develop the heritage workwear brand's street level 'Work In Progress' range, the collection delivers simplistic workwear shapes, updated for the modern wearer, offering quality, comfort and durability throughout. It's a diverse range which takes a focus towards the outerwear line, with various options including parka jackets and bomber silhouettes. Alongside the heavier cut & sew styles you will find more staple pieces in the bold graphic tees, camo print hoodies and casual checked shirts, as well as a small selection of headwear. The simplicity and minimalism of the clothing is reflected through Gordon's black and white imagery which is brought to life with the decorative scrawls from Tim Head, reminiscent of the Automatic Drawing style from the likes of Jean Arp, with inspiration drawn from the DIY hardcore zines and lo-fi aesthetic of the early 90's.
