A Look Inside Carhartt WIP’s New Soho Store

Posted on by George Metcalf

 

Carhartt WIP have today opened a brand new store in the heart of London's Soho district.

 Carhartt are a brand well known for their clean designs and minimalistic approach to fashion so it comes as no surprise that the store’s interior reflects exactly that. The shop features original exposed brick, minimalistic metal work and natural plywood fixtures, as well as a polished concrete floor, all which is a reference to Carhartts work-wear origins, and as if things couldn’t get cleaner the shop also features a polished concrete floor and a large marble cash desk.

 The Shop is located at 74 Brewer Street in Soho (W1F 9JG) so make sure you check it out next time you’re in the neighborhood. For more, head over to carhartt-wip.com

Carhartt WIP Autumn/Winter 2016 Look-Book

Posted on by George Metcalf

 

 Carhartt WIP recently dropped the visuals for their Autumn/Winter 2016 line, showcasing a diverse selection of apparel, drawing influence from various themes. 

 The in house Work In Progress brand was founded in 1989 with the sole purpose of redesigning and reshaping classic Carhartt looks for modern city life, all while staying true to the core ideals of the brand; quality, comfort and durability.

 This is pretty evident in the latest drop, as the classic pieces are all there however, along with well-known patterns and motifs; they’ve been given modern twists and have been re-imagined for 2016.

 The versatility of the clothing is evident in both the male and female collections this season, as elements from menswear and street-wear come together to showcase the eclectic nature of the brand itself.

 Select pieces are available now at a number of Carhartt WIP retailers as well as their web store.

Carhartt WIP x Pelago Bicycles

Posted on by bythelevel

 

 Carhartt WIP have teamed up with Finnish bike engineering company Pelago on a concise collection focused around functionality, quality and style.

 The idea was born during a Carhartt skate trip back in 2013 when the pair came together through one of the rider's connections to Pelago following the discovery of an abandoned bike frame which was then re-purposed as a special one off.  From that event we now have a fully considered collection centred around the carefully crafted single-speed Porteur bike in a subtle toolbox green colour way. The bike is complimented with a range of co-branded apparel which includes a tee, work jacket, cap and beanie, all featuring double-reflective labelling and waterproof coatings. Rounding off the release is another collab within the collab, teaming up with Mission Workshop one a bespoke bag design that can be worn in a messenger stye and attached to the bikes front rack during travel. 

 Again it seems as though Carhartt WIP have got it right with their collaborative venture, putting together a collection that offers something to seasoned bike riders down to their leisurely cyclers, and all those in between.

 The Carhartt WIP x Pelago Bicycles collaborative collection is set to arrive on August 11th. Head over to www.carhartt-wip.com  for more.

Carhartt SS16 Lookbook 1

Carhartt WIP SS16 Lookbook

Posted on by bythelevel

Carhartt's street level 'Work In Progress' imprint have released the visuals to their SS16 collection, which sees the brand update some of their more familiar styles as well as introduce some new seasonal pieces.

While maintaining Carhartt's ethos in robust, durable construction, Carhartt WIP's approach is a lot more accessible and allows the brand to experiment with different influences in their design . For Spring/Summer 2016 we see a lot more sportswear and athletic inspired pieces, with collegiate text featuring on coach jacket styles, rugby shirts, hoodies and sweaters, as well as a two piece tracksuit which includes a track top and bottoms, a far cry from the brands workwear roots. They have made use of various prints throughout, with military inspired camouflage applied to several items and seasonal tropical prints on short-sleeve shirts, as well as updating classic workwear designs and fabrications, such as the denim dungarees and chore jacket styles, which have been reworked with a streetwear sensibility. The collection is rounded off with a concise footwear and accessory range, including sunglasses, slip-on shoes and a fold out chair for those camp-outs.

Carhartt WIP’s SS16 collection is available now at select stockists and Carhartt's webstore.

Carhartt WIP Fall/Winter 2015 Lookbook

Posted on by bythelevel

 

 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.

You can find out more on the brand and shop the latest from Carhartt WIP over on their webstore now. Be sure to check the interview with artist Tim Head on the campaigns art direction HERE
