Streetwear Week: A.P.C x Carhartt

Now I wouldn't hide the fact I have a thing for French fashion houses however A.P.C's collaboration with streetwear brand Carhartt is one to keep an eye out for. Carhartt has collaborated with dozens of brilliant designers over the years (Adam Kimmel being one of the most popular) however this stands out as being one of the finest yet. Their A/W range is somewhat admirable in its design and clear contributions from both designers can be made.

Detroit Revisited Jacket, €250

Knitted beanies and colourful cotton shirts make an appearance in the collection and are relatively plain in their design. I think this is where we see A.P.C come into play by toning down the usual designs of Carhartt and potentially giving each item more wearability. The two stand-out items are the 'Down Vest' in beige which has such a Canadian/lumberjack sort of look to it and due to the feather down lining is would keep the wearer extremely warm this winter. The other item is the 'Detroit Revisited Jacket' which with the sheepskin collar is exactly what high end fashion magazines are talking about. It is really simple in design however the shape of the jacket is covetous and extremely elegant.

This is a partnership which has only been going for a couple of years however each collection is going from strength to strength, workwear and streetwear have never looked so good and hopefully will only get better as the years go on.
