Herrensauna x Carhartt WIP SS22 Launch Party in Berlin with Taboo

Created in 2016 by Cem Dukkha (CEM) and Nicolas Endlicher (MCMLXXX), Herrensauna has quickly become a Berlin institution and famed queer safe space known for its boundary-pushing techno nights and playfully sybaritic community morality. For their spring/summer 2022 collection, Carhartt WIP collaborated with Herrensauna to produce a limited capsule of five items. This capsule see staple Carhartt WIP particulars blessed with artwork by Berlin-based artist and longtime Herrensauna collaborator Mau Ventura.

The launch party took place at Humbolthain Club on April 3 with DJ sets by DJ Saliva b2b Salome, MDSM, Gabrielle Kwarteng b2b Kikelomo, LYZZA b2b Yha Yha, and CEM b2b MCMLXXXVI.

“This collaboration was extra special as it allowed a popular streetwear brand to tap into its shared audience with such an iconic underground collective. The partnership is subtle, allowing the focus to be on the community and celebrating its presence in the city of Berlin and Beyond.” Kenny Eshinlokun, founder of Taboo.

With releases on the 4th and 11th of April, the collection is available now at Carhartt WIP Store Berlin Mitte, Highsnobiety Shop, Voo Store, and wearetaboo.co. photographs by Sera Akyazici

Carhartt WIP Releases Spring '21 Campaign In Collaboration With Clay Arlington

 
 

For its Spring 2021 campaign, Carhartt WIP has worked with artist and designer Clay Arlington, creating a series of images that reference the artist’s past body of work, as well as the brand’s own cultural rooting. Fire extinguishers, floral motifs, and basketballs — in this case, one created by Spalding for Carhartt WIP S/S21 collection — all draw from Arlington’s signature aesthetic, and are combined with text-based works that offer a knowing interpretation of the brand’s DNA.

To mark the campaign, Carhartt WIP has released two t-shirts featuring these works combined with other text-based components. Each t-shirt will also come with a limited edition posterzine.

One image features artist and model Ivy Johnson, her back turned to the camera while wearing a white hoodie, with the words “it’s just work” scrawled on tape across the bottom.
