S/S25 New Arrivals: A Sense of Place by Daniel Vaysberg
The typical markings of a home act as a blank canvas for photographer Daniel Vaysberg. It is, perhaps, a result of his complicated relationship with domesticity, having left his hometown of Kharkiv for Düsseldorf, Germany, aged 16. Through his lens, a home is not a house, but rather any space that allows for connection and kinship. For the first delivery of Spring/Summer 2025, Vaysberg called upon his former Berlin apartment, creating a series of images that explore the collegiate undertones of the season.
The collection features sportswear-inspired jersey pieces detailed with campus-style appliqué lettering, seen in items like the Hooded WIP Sweat Jacket. These are complemented by American Script styles – including a new women’s skirt – which nod to Carhartt WIP’s utilitarian roots, in their triple-stitch details and two-tone embroidery, yet are executed on brushed polycotton jersey fabric.
Meanwhile, denim takes on a 90-inspired look and feel, illustrated by the loose-fit Brandon Pant across men’s and women’s. In contrast, the new Blake Coach Jacket offers a denim-like appearance in a softer, more lightweight chambray construction. Long-sleeve rugby polos continue the collegiate influence, while washed graphics on t-shirts and sweatshirts offer an intentionally worn-in, aged finish.

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.
