S/S23: Boroughs
Carhartt WIP’s latest editorial focuses on lightweight denim styles geared for summer, with a series of images shot in New York by photographer D’Andre Williams.
This facet of the collection takes inspiration from the clean lines and loose, easy silhouettes of archival brand imagery, combined with a 90s East Coast sensibility. Core items like the OG Chore Coat and Simple Pant are reimagined in robust black denim and accented with contrast triple stitching. Pieces like the Women’s OG Michigan Coat, meanwhile, are executed in stone-washed blue denim, offering a softer feel and lightly worn-in appearance on the item’s details.
This season also sees the inclusion of the Alma group, which combines lightweight denim with ripstop paneling, offering a novel take on familiar styles that nods to two foundational Carhartt WIP fabrics. These styles – a vest, jacket, and pant – feature a looser, more relaxed fit.
Stone-washed blue and black denim colorways are complemented by shades of crisp white and ash heather across a selection of jersey staples.

fdecarlo@carhartt-wip.comAbout Carhartt WIP
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.
