Carhartt WIP Taps Okniceok for Pencil-Drawn T-Shirt Collection

Hypebeast2 days ago
Summary
Carhartt WIPenlisted New York-basedOknotok, also known as Danny Ische, for a run of graphic T-shirts. Culling inspiration from childhood memory and internet culture, the illustrative wearables deliver nostalgia, pixelated play with a photorealist bite.
The capsule includes several designs across men and women's fits, two of which are available in black and white. Keeping it classic, all three tees are emblazoned with the Carhartt WIP on the front chest, though reimagined by the artist's surrealist signature. The emblematic 'C' takes on the form of a spiral staircase and poised swan, while a toss of print press lettering spells out the brand in full.
The back of each shirt is covered in a dense pencil collage: one design presents a carnival of animal of animals interwoven with Greek columns and architectural accents. Another evokes the spirit of spring, with smiling characters and flowers rendered through deft, graphite shading and bold line work. With fall around the corner, the women's tee adopts a more atmospheric feel with a dreamy mosaic of falling angels, candelabras and jack-o'-lanterns.
Check out the pieces in the gallery above. The Carhartt WIP x Okniceok collection is available now via the brand'swebstore.

Match Point: How To Serve The Honey Deuce At Home

NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 07: The Grey Goose Suite at the Arthur Ashe Stadium on September 7, 2018 in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City. (Photo byfor Grey Goose) Getty Images Every year at the end of August, before Summer nights fade into Fall, the U.S. Open takes over the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center grounds in Queens, New York. And so does the Honey Deuce, the official cocktail of the U.S. Open. The drink debuted at the 2006 U.S. Open when Grey Goose became a sponsor and in recent years the sipper has catapulted to its own form of celebrity. Everyone and anyone at the U.S. Open wouldn't dare leave without posing with their Grey Goose Honey Deuce. Can't snag a ticket to the U.S. Open this year? No problem — you can still sip like you're courtside. Molly Horn, chief mixologist and spirits educator at Total Wine & More offered up tips for making the best version of this signature cocktail at home, whether you're toasting solo during a nail-biter match or serving a crowd at your own Grand Slam watch party. There is something so special about the Honey Deuce at the U.S. Open; so much so that it may not feel the same drinking from home. Do you have any tips, tricks or hacks for ensuring it still tastes awesome even when making it yourself? Horn: I would imagine for most home bartenders the challenge is the honeydew melon balls. There are plenty of great, quality lemonades on the market if you can't make it fresh yourself, and Chambord and Baron De Casterac are great (black) raspberry liqueurs — another option if you want a straight raspberry liqueur is Drillaud. For those honeydew balls, I would recommend getting a melon baller — which will make the process much faster and easier — and attacking the whole melon. If you haven't done this before, it's actually super easy, but having the right tool will make all the difference. If you do you want to make lemonade yourself, the key is to use fresh lemon juice and whisk it together aggressively with equal amounts of granulated sugar — the lemon juice will break down and dissolve the sugar much better than adding it to water alone first — then add your filtered water. I prefer a ratio of one part lemon juice, one part sugar, and four parts water for a nice and brightly tangy lemonade, but if that's too sweet or sour for you you can always adjust — just do so before you add it to the cocktail. What's the most common mistake people make when trying to recreate the Honey Deuce at home? Horn: A majority of the challenges I see for the home mixologist with this cocktail is using a shelf-stable lemonade that doesn't have the zip or tang of a fresh lemonade. Since that is the foundation of the cocktail, it's really important to either purchase fresh lemonade (from the refrigerated section of your shop or market, with a sell-by date within one to two weeks) or make it yourself. Can you talk through batching this cocktail and what that looks like? Horn: This is a great recipe for batching since it doesn't require any dilution (aka, it doesn't get shaken or stirred, just poured together). My biggest tip, as always, is just to make sure all of your ingredients are very cold (vodka in the freezer, other ingredients in the fridge for 24 hours+ before serving) in order to minimize over-dilution of your batch. I also recommend freezing melon balls overnight — not only will they work better to keep your batched cocktail nice and chilled, but they won't melt and over-dilute the way ice cubes would. Glassware and ice are also so important to this drink — what do you suggest? Horn: I like to serve it in a tall glass, like a Collins or a Highball. I personally prefer to freeze the honeydew balls and use those for 'ice' (since I also have my ingredients for the cocktail chilled in advance), but if you want to go for real ice it would look and taste great with a highball ice cube. You can find ice trays that make four long, wide, ice cubes that will fill up the length of your glass, keep your cocktail nice and cold, and take a long time to melt — allowing you to enjoy it at your leisure. Are there any other spins on this cocktail that could make it a bit more unique, while keeping the essence? Horn: This recipe is a great one for riffing — for one thing, using a sparkling lemonade adds a great effervescence I really enjoy. Elderflower plays nicely with the flavors in the cocktail, so adding a splash of elderflower liqueur or syrup is a really nice addition. And of course, many different fruit liqueurs will work great in place of raspberry if you want to switch it up, such as Drillaud Strawberry Liqueur or any of the Chinola flavors — which would also add a nice texture — especially passion fruit or pineapple.

How Taylor Swift hinted at ‘The Life of a Showgirl' album ‘years in advance'

Best believe Taylor Swift has been dropping 'The Life of a Showgirl' Easter eggs all along. The pop star's fans are convinced the 35-year-old teased her forthcoming album 'years in advance.' Since the Grammy winner confirmed her 12th record's name on a preview clip for Wednesday's 'New Heights' episode, Swifties have been on the hunt for past hints. Many set their sights on the singer's 2022 music video for 'Bejeweled,' pointing out that she rocked a showgirl costume at the even sat on the hand of a clock pointing to 12, with one social media user drawing attention to the songwriter's album reveal taking place on the Aug. 12 at 12:12 a.m. Others, however, insisted, 'I fear this was bc it was a song called bejeweled on an album called midnights.' Two years after the music video dropped, Swift told her fans that she was 'back in the office' in an Instagram video taken in Miami's Hard Rock Stadium. She walked out to section A12 in the October 2024 footage, which Swifties have also connected to the Aug. 12 date. Additionally, Swift wore her orange 'Lover' bodysuit and orange and green '1989' set in her performance that evening — the colors making up her latest project. Swift also sported an all-orange '1989' set during the 12th stop of the European leg of her tour in July 2024 after 11 shows of mismatched outfits, one eagle-eyed fan shared. Another posted pictures of Swift's Eras Tour book, which included a line about her 'showgirl's dressing room routine' as well as a photo of herself in a green and orange outfit. 'None of this was accidental,' one fan claimed via X. Swift is known for hinting at her projects with 'cryptic clues,' which she discussed on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' in 2021. 'It's sort of a tradition that we started a very long time ago,' the actress said at the time, noting that it 'got out of control.' She asked, 'How far is too far in advance? Can I hint at something three years in advance? Can I even plan things out that far? I think I'm gonna try to do it.' Swift praised her fans for going 'into the weeds' with her. 'I think it is perfectly reasonable for people to be normal music fans and to have a normal relationship to music, but if you want to go down a rabbit hole with us, come along,' she quipped. 'The water is great, jump in.' The American Music Award's album news comes nearly three months after she bought back her masters. Solve the daily Crossword
