The Carhartt WIP SS11 lookbook features grainy low-quality images that show off the awesome line in an innovative way. You may not get to see all the tiny details of the garments, but you do get an understanding of the brand from this series.

From the images in the Carhartt WIP SS11 lookbook, I get a sense that the line is both fun and classic. The pictures are interesting and adventurous, showcasing a spring/summer collection that gets you ready to explore the world.
