Toogood Designs Giant Puppets for Carhartt WIP in Milan
Toogood works together with Carhartt WIP to create giant puppets that are shown on display in Milan. It was created by the London studio imprint to be served as models at the installation. There are three puppets created and each one is oversized, wearing garments from the capsule that are formed using a plethora of materials.
Erica Toogood speaks about the collaboration, stating that “This collaboration has come from a very natural place for both brands [...] Carhartt WIP’s history of modifying historic workwear sits effortlessly with Toogood’s nod to trades and workwear, reimagined and sculpted with artistic freedom.” It is set to be on show until the end of Milan Design Week on June 12th.
