FW22 - Meridian by Lola & Pani

Shot in the rural plains of Southern England by photography duo Lola & Pani, Carhartt WIP’s latest FW22 editorial weaves themes of foraging and woodland exploration into its imagery.

Garments featured include the Pond Sweater, a jacquard item knit from lambswool-blend yarn, and the Prentis Vest Liner, which is detailed with a new camouflage motif executed in traditional woodland colors. There is also the addition of the Active Cold Jacket, which sees a signature Carhartt WIP style updated with artificial down filling and a water-repellent, poly-cotton exterior. In women’s, the W' Erie Jacket offers a similar silhouette, complete with artificial down insulation and a water-repellent, nylon ripstop shell.

Elsewhere, items such as the Kilda Jacket and Pant add a brutalist Scandinavian bent to the editorial, seen in the garments’ 3D pockets, taped zips, and reflective labeling. These are juxtaposed with soft fleece styles like the Brody Sweat Pullover in men’s, and the W’ Ella Highneck Liner in women’s.

Based in London, Lola & Pani work across documentary, portrait, and fashion photography. Lola Paprocka is the founder of Palm* Studios, an independent publishing house which published Pani Paul’s critically-acclaimed book Mile End in 2015. The duo have been working together since 2014.
