British shoe brand Dr. Martens has brought their A/W ’15 collection into town, and with it the person responsible for their latest incarnation – celebrated graphic artist Mark Wigan. Wigan got his start in the legendary ’80s club scene, where he rubbed shoulders (literally and figuratively) with the likes of Andy Warhol, Grace Jones, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
With vivid colours and zany illustrations that look like modern hieroglyphics, Wigan lends his playful, irreverent designs to six of the brand’s footwear styles as well as a line of tees, backpacks, socks and accessories. All the prints are created exclusively for Dr. Martens, and Wigan portrays the frenetic club and youth culture that the brand, famous for its cool-girl staple stompers, is often acquainted with.
The line is now available at all Dr. Martens stores here (#B1-31 Capitol Piazza). Prices range from $12 for a pair of socks to $399 for leather bags, while boots and shoes range from $219 – $259.
