RETROSUPERFUTURE are back at it, for their fourth season of their collaborative project with Carhartt WIP. With a heritage straight out of Detroit Carhartt WIP have built a reputation for solid workwear staples with a slight fashion sensibility, so when they enter the contrasting world of fine Italian artisans and join forces with RETROSUPERFUTURE you know it's going to be special. The collab is like ‘beauty and the rugged beast—if it were a song would sound something like Mozart featuring Ghostface Killah.

The vision is clear for the Fall/Winter 2015 collection, the designs have been refined and a focus put on the materials and fit. Carhartt WIP have taken inspiration from their heritage workwear, making stylistic references to the '50s. While RETROSUPERFUTURE have used their attention to detail and hand-crafting skills using a combination of materials, creating a fusion between the two worlds. The shades are made from Italian acetate, each pair is handmade locally and feature Zeiss lenses to protect your eyes from them sunny rays.
