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.

Alexander McQueen continues his knack for transforming ordinary staples into exciting must-have garments with the McQ fall 2009 collection.

Meanwhile, pants are cuffed and playfully too short, while an all-to familiar checkered print finds itself transformed into a painfully chic belted blazer.
