F/W23 Carhartt WIP x IAB Studio
For Fall/Winter 2023, Carhartt WIP has collaborated with Seoul-based design practice and clothing brand IAB Studio on a nine-piece capsule collection.
The collection is inspired by IAB Studio’s manifold creative influences and members, which includes artists, musicians, and writers. The items build on Carhartt WIP’s roots, while reimagining iconic silhouettes in vivid palettes and color block designs.
Outerwear items such as the IAB OG Chore Coat, Active Jacket, and Detroit Jacket are executed in our signature Dearborn Canvas and feature a new take on its striped blanket lining. Also included is a canvas apron, detailed with pop-color pockets and woven straps. The pieces are further detailed with a co-branded graphic logo, as well as a transparent ID card slot, which pays tribute to functional work garments. Rounding out the collection are heavyweight jersey items in heather gray and a six-panel canvas cap.
The collection will be available on October 7th from select Carhartt WIP stores in the USA and Asia, as well as Carhartt WIP’s online store in these regions.

jbiais@carhartt-wip.comAbout Carhartt WIP
Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, Carhartt WIP (Work In Progress) 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 locations worldwide. It also has its own skate team and music department, while supporting a slew of artists and releasing various in-house publications.
IAB STUDIO
IAB STUDIO was founded by a group of ambitious art major people to promote and encourage its crew members to take initiative in their own personal projects. Each crew member possesses their own respective field of expertise as a hip-hop musician, barista, artist, teacher, YouTuber, flavorist, or a reworked clothing designer.
IAB STUDIO's fashion business originated from manufacturing in-house t-shirts and hoodies for crew members to wear as work uniforms for IAB STUDIO projects. Such uniform served as a platform to unite crew members and enhance IAB's team spirit, attachment, and a sense of affiliation. Since then, IAB STUDIO has been releasing quality apparel for consumers, that proudly bears IAB's brand logo.
