S/S23 Icons Reworked
An ever-present element of Carhartt WIP collections, in which parts of the brand’s heritage are filtered through a modern-day lens, Icons Reworked sees Dearborn Canvas items, like the Detroit Jacket and Arbor Vest, executed in the brand’s ‘faded’ wash, resulting in rich, complex takes on familiar elements.
The OG Chore Chromo Coat, meanwhile, sees a core Carhartt WIP garment imbued with a motif that echoes tie-dye patterns. This is further complemented by the Nelson program, which continues to offer loose, boxy jersey items that, this season, have undergone a pigment-dye treatment. A new addition appears in the form of the Double Knee Short, while a series of accessories, including the Bayfield Tote and Hat in the same ‘faded’ finish, complete the selection.
Shot by the Los Angeles-based photographer Yudo Kurita, the accompanying editorial reflects the collection’s hazy palettes and loose fits, with a series of images exploring ephemeral movements and abstractions in color.

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.
