I have written an extensive essay about the history of the Carhartt Work In Progress brand for the latest issue of Sneakers Magazine – the “Taste Issue” #33.
From the humble beginnings as an American blue-collar workwear brand through the appropriation by the early HipHop scene to the evolution as Carhartt WIP over the last 25 years – it’s been quite a ride for this brand, and I hope my article reads the same!
Sneakers Magazine #33 is now available at newsstands and via their website. So treat yourself and buy an issue (or pick it up at this week’s Berlin Fashion Week) right now!
