"Boroughs" by Carhartt WIP


Carhartt WIP, known for its durable and adaptable clothing, showcases the versatility of denim in its lightweight and layerable spring/summer collection. Complementing this collection, the brand has unveiled its latest editorial, "Boroughs," which captures the essence of New York City through its imagery and atmosphere.

The "Boroughs" editorial skillfully highlights reimagined Carhartt WIP styles against the backdrop of iconic NYC landmarks. Photographer D'Andre Williams artfully positions models in front of recognizable spots such as the 125th Street subway station in Harlem, brick walls, and apartment stoops. The grainy film format evokes a nostalgic aura reminiscent of old New York.

The editorial showcases Carhartt WIP classics like the OG Chore Coat and Simple Pant, featuring black denim with contrasting triple stitching accents. The Women's OG Michigan Coat receives a fresh update in soft stone-washed blue denim. Another noteworthy highlight is the "Alma" group, which presents contemporary reinterpretations of traditional workwear items such as vests, jackets, and pants. These pieces utilize Carhartt WIP's foundational fabrics, offering loose, lightweight, and modernized versions of timeless garments—an objective the brand has pursued since its establishment in 1994.

Explore the captivating visuals of "Boroughs" in the gallery above. The editorial and the entire Spring/Summer 2023 collection are available on Carhartt WIP's website for a closer look.
