Les Misérables, a striking, multi-perspective film about a riot and ensuing police brutality in a tough banlieue was released last year. 25 years later, these grievances are still being aired. Shot entirely in black and white, the film received a standing ovation at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, where Mathieu Kassovitz also won the Best Director prize.Īside from critical acclaim from the film establishment, La Haine exposed the tensions between the city's poorest inhabitants who lived in the banlieues and the police, symbolic of a political class ignorant to the systemic issues in those neighbourhoods. Today you will still see everyone from farmers to railroad workers sporting Carhartt during their working day, with the company going from strength to strength developing innovative new design features to their timeless styles.First released in 1995, La Haine dealt with the fallout of police brutality in Paris’ banlieues, depicting 20 aimless hours in the lives of Parisian teenagers Vinz, Saïd and Hubert in the aftermath of their friend's hospitalisation and a subsequent riot. Multiple depressions in the USA throughout the 1920s and 30s took their toll on the brand, but Carhartt endured due to their superior design, manufacturing and longevity which made them the preferred choice for the workers of the world.
By 1925 Hamilton opened factories across the globe, the UK included.Įven back in 1925, the modern Carhartt we know and love was beginning to form, with the 'Hamilton Carhartt Junior – Manufacturer' subsidiary which focused on making shirts, jeans, shoes and outerwear for young men working blue collar jobs.
Doing what any good business owner should Hamilton took a walk down to his local railway station and asked the workers there what they really wanted from their workwear.Īltering his designs to match their feedback was a recipe for success and Carhartt quickly became the choice amongst manual workers. And Hamilton Carhartt's garment business is struggling to gain traction with the local workers of Detroit, Michigan.
