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
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 just 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 in defining what Carhartt WIP does. 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, representing the culture which has formed around it. This can be seen and felt in its collections, its imagery, and its choice of partners and collaborators. 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.
