Fall 2009 | Raf Simons x Dr. Martens

Raf Simons’ lat­est col­lec­tion for Dr. Martens is set to add some pizazz to a fall sea­son that is quite dark. Work­ing with the tra­di­tional 3-​​eye, Dou­ble Monk Strap, 8-​​eye and High Boot styles, Simons offers Dr. Martens’ iconic look a new spin with the intro­duc­tion of the Zip, Strap and 3-​​eye Zipped styles. Hous­ing two dis­tinct aes­thet­ics, the col­lec­tion plays at both con­ser­v­a­tive and bold fea­tures. Drawn to Excel and New-​​Nova leather, Simons cre­ates a smart look where the excite­ment is main­tained in the details. Mean­while, in gen­eral Raf Simons’ flair, the Koram Flash selec­tion fea­tures reflec­tive metallics in gold, cop­per and pewter. If you’re going to be dressed in all black this fall, you might as well let your shoes do the talk­ing. If not avail­able already, the col­lec­tion should be reach­ing stores any day now. Stock­ists include Browns, Oki-​​ni, Dover Street Mar­ket and Sel­f­ridges.
