In the Hearts of Many by Sly Morikawa
Sly Morikawa explores contrasts and dualities, balancing tender, intimate moments with a sense of quiet composure, mirrored in Carhartt WIP’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection.
Sydney’s natural coastlines and city streets offer a backdrop that complements the divergent textures and colors within the collection. Stone-washed denim pieces – like the Women’s Single Knee Skirt – exhibit a softer, worn-in appearance, while corduroy layers add a tactile weight. These are contrasted with sleek, coated canvas styles, such as the Women’s Dean Michigan Jacket. The Toronto Jacket, meanwhile, embodies a similar sense of duality, pairing a heavily padded lining with a smooth outer shell.
Elsewhere, muted hues are punctuated by vivid pops of red – seen in the Stanton Jacket and Women’s Double Knee Pant – while earthy woodland camouflage is offset by multicolor checks and stripes.
Photographer Sly Morikawa lives and works between Sydney and Tokyo. Her images explore intimacy and desire, drawing from the dichotomies of the human experience—light and dark, calm and chaos, beauty and tension.

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.
