MANILA, Philippines - “I have always had a really intense relationship with Dr. Martens, right from my first pair back when I was 13, which I bought as a combination of showing that I wanted to rebel against my parents and they were the coolest boots that I could get away with wearing to school, which stood for something that gave me my own stamp of originality,” says world-renowned Brit model and style innovator Agyness Deyn. As the perfect embodiment of Dr. Martens’ ethos of creative self-expression and individuality, her first capsule collection for the brand, which incorporates clothing, footwear and accessories, hits stores globally this August. Taking inspiration from both the brand and Aggy’s own personal heritage, the pieces have been influenced by popular cultural references from music, film, TV, and her personal style. Agyness worked closely with the Dr. Martens creative team, designing pieces that merge a grunge aesthetic with modern styling, quality prints, and bright color pops. Fans of the collection are encouraged to wear the items in their own individual way, depending on their mood and how they want to look. Each piece, whether a checked shirt or lace-trimmed dress, can be worn dressed-up or down, working as separates or combined together for Aggy’s sexy tomboy look.
