After becoming one of the standout attractions from the January Paris Fashion Week, we’ve now been treated to our first official preview of the anticipated Sacai x Carhartt WIP Fall/Winter 2023 collection – arriving this September.
Fashion enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting this new collab. The bar has been set high thanks to Sacai‘s creative director, Chitose Abe and her successful partnerships with a wide selection of Nike trainers, Moncler mash-ups, and Carier jewellery.
For FW’23, Abe has presented an inventive exploration of Carhartt WIP‘s signature workwear attire through Sacai‘s unique and attention-grabbing design lens (seen below).
Reinterpreting Carhartt WIP‘s familiar designs, this new collab aims to use Abe’s skill with textiles and layered designs with Carhartt’s most recognisable garments.
This means reworked archetypal utilitarian-wear such as Carhartt WIP‘s duck fabric jackets, blended with Sacai‘s signature nylon twill. Plenty more of Carhartt WIP’s workwear apparel has been reimagined with Sacai’s specialist knitting methods.
Another notable addition is the fresh interpretation of Carhartt’s chore jacket. While staying true to its original design, this reworked version showcases added pockets, an oversized liner, and additional buttons.
The partnership features collections for both men and women, while each piece has been decorated with a co-branded patch logo in white and black.
As for the colour palette, the traditional Carhartt WIP hues of deep black and beige remains, but this time it’s complemented by a tasteful baby blue set of shades. These pieces have been expertly crafted from durable knit fabrics, perfect for the colder months.
As seen above, the campaign focuses on the heritage of skateboarding and features a lineup of individuals from Carhartt WIP‘s skate team, such as Pepe Tirelli and Tolia Titaev.
For those eager for a drop, you won’t have to wait long as Sacai x Carhartt WIP FW’23 will be available on Friday, September 8 from Sacai retailers and the Sacai online store.
Selected items will also be pre-launching exclusively on Wednesday, 6 September from London’s Dover Street Market, Carhartt WIP online and Sacai online.
