Carhartt Force Technology

 

Remember Detroit artist, Kate Silvio? Along her path to becoming a craftsperson, she’s picked up many useful trades and skills. Metal fabrication being one of them. Working in the metal shop can be extremely physical labor. After all the welding, cutting, bending, and hammering it’s easy to work up quite a sweat. That’s why Carhartt Force is perfect for a rigorous day on the job. It’s made with FastDry® technology for quick wicking, Stain Breaker™ technology that releases stains, and the fabric fights odors to boot.

Take a look at some of Kate’s work here. 
Check out what she’s wearing: Carhartt Women’s Force Performance Quarter-Zip Shirt, Original-Fit Canvas Crawford Dungaree, Billing Safety Glasses, and Women’s Soft Hands Gloves.

Detroit Gear Head Adrienne

Breaking stereotypes and turning heads, this girl knows her business. In 7th grade, Adrienne began working on a pit crew. Just a few years after that, she started fixing up her first car, a Camaro SS. Kustom Creations in Sterling Heights is one of the shops where she acquired many of her skills.Adrienne’s job is in promotions for the motor sports industry. Don’t let the designer dress and heels she wears to her day job fool you. Much of her spare time is dedicated to her passion of racing and mechanics. Shopping around for the right car parts is as natural to her as searching for the perfect little black dress.Crawling under frames and coving yourself in grease stains is just a small part of the job. A passion worth getting dirty for is worth sticking with for the rest of your life.

Check out Adrienne’s Carhartt coveralls. If you also defy stereotypes in your job and hobbies, they’re just the right workwear for you!

Detroit Artist Kate Silvio

Kate grew up playing in her father’s warehouse. Climbing around a world of palates and drawing on reams of paper, her creativity churned. At College for Creative Studies, she was interested in sculpture and welding. Kate also learned to be a metal fabricator. Throwing yourself into the craft helps you create a voice through your work. She now uses her conceptual art to process and better understand the world around her. See more of Kate’s work here. I’m blown away by the forms and beauty she handcrafts out of industrial items.
