Heart Eyes, Straight Face
Detroit-based photographer Samuel Trotter offers a tongue-in-cheek expression of unrequited love and unerring fixation in an editorial that spotlights the brand’s F/W23 Campus selection.
A recurring motif within collections, Campus offers space for this season’s prep-leaning styles, filtered through a Carhartt WIP lens. Key to this is the Women’s Rugged Letterman Jacket, constructed from cotton corduroy with a diamond quilted lining. The style is accented by embroidered detailing on the left chest.
The capsule's Ivy League feel is further emphasized by new knitwear styles – including a sleeveless V-neck that features ribbed detailing with contrast stripes. These are paired alongside sweatshirts and -pants, which bear subtle ‘C’ branding complete with a plaid fill. The same check motif can also be found on this season’s Beckley Coat – a classic heavyweight wool style accented by a cord collar, which is also available in dark navy.
The accompanying video was shot in Detroit, with Trotter drawing inspiration from cartoons of his childhood to deliver his typically wry approach to image-making.
