Remember those fabulous Dr. Martens that were the epitome of 80s cool back in the day? Well, they’re back in fashion and have been given something of a funky makeover.
I say makeover, what I really mean is that they have been glammed up a touch, in addition to adding a few designer collaborations into the mix, and of course introducing the high-heeled version of the classic boot.
Agyness Deyn, Pixie Geldof, Alice Dellal and Fearne Cotton are just some of the big celeb endorsers of the brand at the moment, and they have inadvertently made them popular with more female shoppers, as sales shoot up across the globe.
In the past we wouldn’t really be caught dead working the grubby boots, unless we part of some kind of 80s tribe or culture, and even in the 90s when they had a brief revival, we were all about Girl Power and Union Jacks, as opposed to grungy fashion.
But now thanks to the catwalk, and the likes of Alexander Wang and Giles showing punky fashion in a cool way once more, suddenly we’re all clamouring to own the stylish bootie.
Bright pink, red or paint splattered, the choice is yours, but if you’re any kind of self respecting fashionista, then i’d hop foot it out now and get yourself a pair pronto!
