Artwork-Adorned Collaborative Boots

TATE and Dr. Martens Celebrate Ithell Colquhoun's Work

— September 28, 2023 — Fashion
Britain's TATE institution has four museums throughout the city and now the franchise works in collaboration alongside Dr. Martens to celebrate the work of British surrealist artist Ithell Colquhoun. The artist was a strong force who played a role in the international art movement during the 1930s and so forth. Her work explores themes of nature with an intimate perspective on sex and gender expression.

Her work can be seen on Dr. Martens' 1460 boots -- specifically her Volcanic Flare and Example of Decalcomania Technique paintings. The latter is detailed with bright green yellow, and red tones along with bright graphics. The second artful colorway features black and white tones to reflect her watercolor expertise.
