With the onset of Winter comes the opportunity for new footwear. Call that ridiculous but that is how I can reconcile the forthcoming loss of the heat and light of Summer (what we’ve had of it) into bitter cold and darkness.
Dr Martens, as if they knew, have launched their new campaign for A/W11 to make me salivate and separate me from my money. The First and Forever campaign celebrates the fact that everyone remembers their first pair of Dr Martens (I for one still sport the blister scars from breaking in my favourite pair of 3 eye 1461s), and Dr Marten invites you to share these stories and more with them for a chance to win a pair from their new range.
The campaign features an androgynous Agyness Deyn photographed in hazy warmth and a style imbued with a ‘This Is England’ feel without the violence.
After missing out on the velvet versions of these beauties a couple of seasons ago, there is no way I am not getting my hands on some of the ponyskin 3 eyes. They won’t be my first pair, but i’ll certainly love them forever.
Stay tuned for inevitable further coverage on such delicious footwear.
