Carhartt WIP x INVINCIBLE® with Shinsuke Nakada
For Fall/Winter 2024, Carhartt WIP has joined forces once again with the brand and retailer INVINCIBLE® for a seven-piece capsule collection, comprising contemporary, loose-fit styles enhanced by an innovative approach to deconstruction.
For the collaboration, INVINCIBLE® has reunited with Japanese designer Shinsuke Nakada, known for his meticulous attention to detail and reinterpretations of classic Americana. Nakada delved into Carhartt WIP's archives for this season's designs, drawing from the brand's signature pieces and filtering them through his unique lens.
The result is a collection of contemporary styles, including a reimagined Chore Coat in heavyweight denim with a convertible hood; a reversible Detroit Jacket; and a long-sleeve work shirt that references outdoor apparel. A series of pigment-dyed jersey pieces, executed in a washed yet saturated finish, round out the collection.
Throughout, items feature Carhartt WIP's woven Square Label, accented by embroidery that represents INVINCIBLE®'s tornado logo.
The collection will launch on December 7 at INVINCIBLE® stores and its online shop, as well as at carhartt-wip.com, the Carhartt WIP iOS App, and the selected Carhartt WIP stores.
