Carhartt Sponsored Studio

The Carhartt Sponsored Studio was a team based project, and it took place during my first semester of my third year. I worked with 2 other designers and 2 color, material, and finish design graduate students to create our story of rework. Recycling Carhartt garments to create a reworked pair of fashion pieces, I had a focus on the water and safety. I made an adjustable water resistant backpack suited for quick use and mesh pockets made from old shorts, to hold fish hooks, and weights. The bags could be removed so the wearer could have the decision to wear one, the other, or both. To match, I designed a life jacket of style, illumination, and safety. This created a fun item with the concept material of optical fiber. It will glow when it touches the water. My project will be featured in the Pitti Immagine Uomo in the summer of 2023.
