Small Talk Studio has partnered with Carhartt WIP to launch a capsule collection dedicated to Nick Williams’ hand-drawn and embroidered garments. The collection features minimalistic Carhatt pieces like work pants, chore jackets, T-shirts, and more, alongside nature-inspired pieces like the ‘Khaki Chore Pants’ and jacket set.
As described by the artist, Nick Williams’ passion for DIY garments spotlights “a unique composition of hand-rendered images that conforms to the contours of the body rather than the dimensions of a canvas or piece of paper.”
The latest collection with Carhartt WIP furthers this “artwear” and DIY ethos, decorating each garment with Small Talk and Carhartt branding and animal-inspired motifs. The collection also offers consumers an adorable duck tote bag for all of their carrying needs.
The Small Talk Studio x Carhartt WIP collection can be shopped on Browns Fashion.
