S/S23: Marina
The latest editorial from Carhartt WIP, titled Marina, lends a waterfront-inspired dimension to prep silhouettes, combining loose poplin layers and technical outerwear with hits of bold, sportswear-skewing color.
Included is the Alto Jacket, which is new for S/S23, and constructed in a light and water-repellent fabric. Reflective detailing appears on the front pocket and at the back. The Coastal Jacket, meanwhile, offers an alternate take on sportswear silhouettes, and features a packable hood and multiple zips, yet is executed in a lightweight poplin fabric. The corresponding Coastal Pant, also in poplin, features magnetic adjusters, accentuating its balloon-like shape.
Maritime flags inform a reworking of the brand’s iconic State Flag motif, appearing on the airy S/S Marina Shirt and Coast State Sweater – a reversed jacquard weave item, complete with exposed seam detailing. Stripes also feature predominantly throughout, seen in the L/S Tork Rugby and Women’s Elcano Shirts. The palette is a wash of pale blue and navy, punctuated with pops of red, white, and lazurite.
The accompanying imagery and videos were lensed by London-based photographer Theo Cottle in North Yorkshire, featuring customized hovercrafts.
