For Spring/Summer 2024, sacai has once again collaborated with Carhartt WIP to create a capsule collection that merges its own distinct design codes with Carhartt WIP’s functional sensibilities.

The 18-piece collection deconstructs and reimagines a series of signature work-inspired items as exclusive hybrid silhouettes. Styles such as the Reversible Duck Coat combine two signature Carhartt WIP styles – the iconic Chore Coat and Siberian Parka – while the Suiting Bonding Dress takes inspiration from a Bib Overall style, juxtaposing rugged, functional cues with the fluid lines of a pleated skirt.
The collection also fuses signature fabrics and details from both brands. As such, Carhartt WIP’s iconic Dearborn Canvas is bonded with sacai’s wool-blend suiting fabric, resulting in items which can be worn inside-out, while subtle elements, such as triple stitching, piping and pocket details, feature throughout.
The accompanying campaign features the Detroit-based ghettotech trio HiTech, and musician and model Soo Joo Park, who is known for her ethereal dream pop sounds. Styling for Soo Joo Park is by Karl Templer, while the images were shot by Stas Komarovski.
On February 22nd, sacai x Carhartt WIP will launch at select global retailers and select sacai stores. The collection will also be available from sacai and Carhartt WIP’s online shops.
