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.

Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) is a clothing brand that adapts and modifies the core products of the pioneering American workwear brand Carhartt to create its own collections. Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, the brand’s audience is as likely to associate its iconic yellow ‘C’ motif with late 90s hip hop videos or skate clips as they are with factories or manual labor. This distinction is key when defining Carhartt WIP.
Carhartt WIP engages with different cultural spheres: from Detroit and Berlin’s symbiotic techno scenes, to skateboarding and its communities that span Paris, New York, and Seoul, to the contemporary art world. The brand channels these influences, reflecting the culture that has formed around it. This can be seen and felt in its collections, imagery, and collaboration partners. Today, Carhartt WIP operates over 100 brick and mortar retail stores across Europe, Asia, and the US, as well as working with select wholesale clients.
