Four seasons in, and the partnership between Carhartt WIP and Italian eyewear designer RETROSUPERFUTURE shows no signs of slowing down. The latest Autumn/Winter 2015 line, a mashup of both American-utilitarian feel and Italian style, offers three new designs that provoke a new-age elegance while staying true to Carhartt’s railroad worker, Detroit-based inception. Available in a range of brazen colors—red Havana, black matte, metallic grey, and blue matte among them—the triple-threat of specs is an innovative addition to a partnership that spawns some of eyewear’s best. The Stokely, the undisputed superstar of the collaboration, offers a definitive, elegant crafting with a comfortably chic finish that frames the face in a downward sloping curve. The Farwell, the Stokely’s wide-lensed cousin, suggests a rounded, inherently masculine ‘50s bridge between the modern Stokely and the dual-color Dickinson Matte, a posh rocker that appears almost British in wear and shaping. All constructions feature the same cat-eye upturned frames and durable hardware construction of exceptional Italian acetate, giving the line a fusion of utility, identity, and character that allows the wearer a classic 20th-century personality with a grounding in bold contemporary flair.
The Carhartt WIP by RETROSUPERFUTURE line is available now.
