Carhartt WIP x Mim Libro
Carhartt WIP has collaborated with Melbourne/Naarm-based airbrush artist Mim Libro on a selection of pieces rooted in folklore, mysticism and the unseen.
Originally from the South Coast of Sydney/Eor, with a background in film and visual curation, Mim’s creative language embodies a dreamlike quality, with a soft-focus rendering of form, symbol and atmosphere. Her approach resists realism, instead revealing a world that feels both raw and reflective – shaped by memory, mythology, and the act of making itself. As part of the collaboration, her airbrushed compositions appear as graphic prints across two t-shirts and a stone-washed Active Jacket. Each piece is accented with a co-branded logo illustrated in the artist’s distinctive style.
The items will be presented at Mim’s debut solo exhibition at China Heights Gallery on October 17th. Following the presentation, they will be available on Saturday 18th October at the Carhartt WIP Burton Street location in Darlinghurst, Sydney.

fdecarlo@carhartt-wip.comAbout Carhartt Work In Progress
Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) develops its own collections based on original Carhartt workwear. The brand combines authentic adaptations of these robust American archetypes, while engaging with the subcultures that have embraced it. This, in turn, has seen Carhartt WIP place itself in a new context and bring forth its own classics.
Carhartt WIP opened its first store in London in 1997 and today operates over 80 brick and mortar locations worldwide. It also has its own skate team and music department, while supporting an array of artists and releasing various in-house publications. Since 2010, Carhartt WIP has worked with a number of like-minded collaborators, including A.P.C., Converse, Fragment Design, Junya Watanabe, Nike, Underground Resistance, and Motown.
