DR. MARTENS x RICK OWENS - Available on October 16th
The long-running partnership between Rick Owens and Dr. Martens continues to explore exaggerated proportions to create a statement aesthetic.
The latest collection is formed of a series of boots all set on DM’s immense Quad sole for an elevated stature and powerful appearance. Each pair is cut from waxy Republic leather in pure black (of course) with extended geometric tongues and easy access zips. All have been signed with a special edition Dr. Martens AirWair heel loop.
The campaign was shot by Rick in his Paris studio and features the return of London-based Turkish producer, performer, and DJ Sissy Misfit, known for her blend of hard electronic sounds with techno and pop elements and conceptual performance style.
“I THOUGHT I INVENTED IT, BUT I ONLY RECENTLY REALIZED MY MEGA-LACING IS A MEMORY OF THE BOOT WORN BY JOSEPH BEUYS DURING HIS 1965 ACTION ENTITLED ‘HOW TO EXPLAIN PICTURES TO A DEAD HARE.’ IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ART MOMENTS I ENCOUNTERED THAT FORMED WHO I AM TODAY. ISN’T IT GREAT TO REALIZE THE POWER OF WHAT WE RETAIN SUBLIMINALLY? THAT MIX OF INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION, SHAMANISTIC CEREMONY BORDERING ON PAGAN HALLUCINATION IS STILL WHAT KEEPS ME GOING......”
