Directed by Thibaut de Longeville and released in September 2024, the documentary series DJ Mehdi: Made in France honors the life and career of the late French producer, who united the worlds of hip-hop and electronic music.




Long connected with DJ Mehdi since the early 2000s, Carhartt WIP has deepened its support of the artist through a collaboration with de Longeville and his team at 360 Creative. Since the documentary’s release, this has included supporting a series of live events and creating merchandise in celebration of DJ Mehdi’s label Espionnage.




The label launched over two decades ago with DJ Mehdi’s project Espion Le EP. Twenty-four years after its release, Thibaut de Longeville and Neil Faveris-Essadi, DJ Mehdi’s son, are now reissuing the record. Created at the dawn of the new millennium, the project established DJ Mehdi’s more experimental approach to production, fusing chopped loops and samples with pulsating electro rhythms. The 11-track mixtape features French rappers Karlito and Dany Dan, as well as electro pioneers Philippe Zdar, Boombass and DJ Feadz. The vinyl repress will be available from November 1 at djmehdiforever.com and at select retailers.




On November 6, Carhartt WIP will mark the occasion with a limited release of the original Espionnage t-shirt, first launched in 2000 alongside the record. An event will also take place at Carhartt WIP Store Paris Bastille, showcasing performances from the artists featured on Espion Le EP.


Carhartt WIP will continue supporting 360 Creative and Espionnage by hosting a series of screenings of DJ Mehdi: Made in France across Europe, commemorating DJ Mehdi’s enduring legacy. Dates and details will be announced soon.

The third and final delivery of Carhartt WIP’s F/W24 collection draws from the past to redefine the present, accompanied by visuals distinctly rooted in the archives.




Alongside the collection, the images present an enduring quality as if suspended in time, reminiscent of rugged 90s film stills, while equally embodying the nuances of today.




Iconic Carhartt WIP styles, such as the OG Active and Detroit Jacket, appear in shades of ‘tarragon’ green and ‘Malbec’ wine, reflecting the season’s deeper palette. These are paired with garment-dyed jersey pieces in washed yet saturated finishes, which evoke a faded, time-worn quality. The stone-dyed Stanton Jacket, featuring a traditional blouson shape, further explores this unique, patinated finish.




Elsewhere, the padded Toronto Jacket nods to utilitarian fabrics and detailing, with its ripstop construction and camouflage lining. This motif appears on the Palmer Scarf and tactile OG Active Liner, and is reimagined in a new Camo Leo form on the W' Elliot High Neck Liner and OG Single Knee Pant.




The Clarton Jacket and W’ Clayton Parka, meanwhile, take inspiration from outdoor silhouettes, while filtering them through a contemporary lens. The items have also been reimagined with details like corduroy collars and multiple gusset pockets, as well as removable hoods. The collection is rounded out by the W’ Selma Liner and Skirt, constructed from diamond-quilted taffeta fabric.



Nestled in the heart of Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, the F/W24 women’s editorial from Carhartt WIP is lensed by Thalía Gochez.




The story offers a glimpse into the neighborhood’s various scenes, from radiant jewelry stores and shuttered shopfronts, to the familiar ambiance of home interiors, decorated with treasured mementos and keepsakes.




Raised in Los Angeles, self-taught photographer and artist Gochez highlights her personal connection to the visuals. “My heritage and culture are at the forefront of my work,” she says. “I grew up in a Mexican and Salvadoran household, which deeply influences how I create. My culture, and the women in it, will always be pillars of inspiration. They make up such a deep part of my artistic DNA.”




This filters into Gochez’s creative process, who highlights that “representation behind the camera is just as important as in front. My team, including my primary light technician Ash and assistant Maria, tends to be predominantly women or people of color, and people who I’ve built deep relationships with for years,” she says.


The garments featured explore the collection’s many textures and patterns, from padded jackets and quilted skirts, to camouflage shirts and scarves, while striking a balance between “resistant yet delicate silhouettes,” explains first-generation Salvadoran stylist Genesis Durán. “The looks were an homage to the influential women in my home and communities growing up – with my mom, tía, and primas at the forefront. They are my blueprint.”

Carhartt WIP is pleased to announce the opening of its latest store in Denmark, located in the Old Town district of Copenhagen.




Situated on Købmagergade 37, the store was designed by Salomée Faeh and the Milan-based architecture studio of Andrea Caputo. Its concrete structure houses a combination of industrial and organic elements, where galvanized steel tubes are juxtaposed against wooden poles, and glass shelving creates a sense of openness. A towering steel display stands at the center of the store, anchoring the space.




Carhartt WIP has created a limited selection of store-exclusive products for the store’s opening in October, including t-shirts, sweatshirts, and a canvas tote bag, featuring a graphic motif inspired by iconic Danish butter cookie tins.




To celebrate the launch, the brand will host an exclusive in-store event on Thursday October 17. The evening will feature a live performance by Swedish singer-producer Raghd, alongside DJ sets from Ruth Belai, Savannah, and Shiva Lee.




Carhartt WIP Store Copenhagen opened its doors on Thursday October 10.

Carhartt WIP has collaborated with California brand ACE Trucks on a selection of skate items, available as part of Carhartt WIP’s F/W24 collection.



Included is a set of two ACE AF1 trucks, constructed from aluminum alloy and steel, featuring an anodized baseplate in Carhartt WIP orange, as well as a co-branded, engraved hanger. The selection also includes a collapsible T-Tool made from steel, featuring an engraved axle and kingpin, an inbuilt Phillips & Allen key, and a griptape file.



Accompanying the release is a skate video shot in Paris by filmer Romain Batard, featuring Carhartt WIP and ACE team riders Max Palmer, Raph Langslow, Noah Mahieu, Marine Bourdais, Maité Steenhoudt, Amélien Foures, Ewing Ayala, and Guy Azulay. Alongside the video is a series of action shots captured by photographer James Griffiths.


The ACE AF1 trucks and T-Tool will be available as part of the F/W24 collection from September, with the accompanying video launching online in October.



ACE Trucks was founded in 2007 by Joey Tershay and Steve “Shrewgy” Ruge, under the mutual goal of creating the best performing trucks in skateboarding. In 2017, ACE welcomed third partner Joey Pulsifer, and four years later, released the AF1 – also known as the strongest cast truck on earth – marking a pivotal point in ACE’s evolution. Today, the brand continues to operate globally, offering a range of AF1, Low and Hollow trucks, in addition to accessories and apparel.

Twenty years ago, Carhartt WIP opened its first French location on the east side of rue Saint-Honoré, adding to the district’s already vibrant energy. Today, the brand reinforces its historic link to the neighborhood by launching a second adjacent location.




Designed by Salomee Faeh and the studio of Milanese architect Andrea Caputo, the new store is situated on 72 rue Saint-Honoré and currently houses the men’s collection. The space pays homage to the city’s rich architectural heritage, where natural wood furnishings are offset with industrial details, such as concrete surfaces and galvanized steel rails. The original location at 66 rue Saint-Honoré now exclusively holds the women's collection, marking Carhartt WIP’s first dedicated women’s store in France.




To celebrate the store’s opening, we have collaborated with Parisian brand Personalities to create a series of t-shirts for men and women. The capsule will be available exclusively at the two Carhartt WIP stores on rue Saint-Honoré from Thursday September 26. The launch event, curated by Personalities, will take place from 6–10pm.

Carhartt WIP s’est installé à l’est de la rue Saint-Honoré il y a près de 20 ans et a contribué à l’effervescence du quartier aux côtés de nombreux acteurs. La marque renforce aujourd’hui ce lien historique en y ouvrant une nouvelle adresse.



Conçu par Salomée Faeh et le studio d’architecture milanais Andrea Caputo, cet espace s’inscrit harmonieusement dans l’architecture existante tout en y apportant une touche de modernité. Les matériaux industriels bruts, comme le béton et l’acier galvanisé, s’associent parfaitement à des éléments d'ameublement en bois massif, conférant à l’ensemble une esthétique à la fois contemporaine et chaleureuse. Située au numéro 72 de la rue, la boutique accueille la collection Homme de Carhartt WIP.



Conséquence de cette extension, le magasin original du 66 rue Saint-Honoré est désormais consacré à la collection Femme. Lancée en 2000, celle-ci n’a cessé de se développer en mettant en avant des pièces fonctionnelles dans la continuité de l’héritage utilitaire de la marque. Pour la première fois en France, un point de vente lui est entièrement dédié.



Pour célébrer cette occasion, Carhartt WIP s’est associé à la marque parisienne Personalities afin de créer une série de t-shirts pour Homme et pour Femme. La capsule sera disponible exclusivement dans les deux magasins Carhartt WIP de la rue Saint-Honoré à partir du jeudi 26 septembre. L’événement de lancement aura lieu ce jour-là de 18:00 à 22:00.

Photographed by Finnegan Travers, Carhartt WIP’s second delivery of F/W24 is set against a South London backdrop, featuring a selection of new season additions and core classics.




Deep fall palettes and a new overdyed camouflage motif are standout elements, appearing across a selection of both familiar and new silhouettes. As such, the garments in the second delivery present an enduring quality, in their resilient construction and roots in functionality. They are items that continue to anchor each collection, while simultaneously transcending the seasons.




Archetypal Icons in our Dearborn Canvas, such as the Double-Knee Pant and Women’s OG Detroit Jacket, are executed in new rinsed colorways for F/W24, from ‘dove’ grey to ‘aura’ purple. They are complemented by a series of American Script items, which appear in similarly saturated hues and are detailed with triple stitching, as well as two-tone embroidery.




Meanwhile, items like the Hooded Olten Parka and Olten Bomber draw from military silhouettes and fabrics, which have been recast as subcultural staples thanks to their functional, robust nature. This influence extends to a contemporary take on classic camouflage, seen on the Duck Active Jacket in green, the Duck Landon Pant in bleached beige, and the Duck Detroit Jacket in bold orange.




The Women’s Duck Orell Jacket in denim and a new, long-length poplin cargo skirt reflect the collection’s utilitarian inspirations.

Carhartt WIP skate team rider, painter and tattoo artist Pepe Tirelli has created a series of graphics for the brand’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection.

The graphics are executed in Tirelli’s signature hand-drawn style, and have been applied to t-shirts, sweatshirts, and a mug.

Accompanying the items’ release is a series of images shot by Natas3000, plus a short skate video filmed by Romain Batard. To celebrate the launch, Tirelli will be live painting the windows of several Carhartt WIP stores in selected cities, alongside a screening of the skate video.

Pepe Tirelli for Carhartt WIP items will be available from September 12 at select global retailers, as well as Carhartt WIP stores and carhartt-wip.com.
