DR. MARTENS SPEAKS TO HANNE GABY ODIELE
We spoke to Belgian model Hanne Gaby Odiele to find out more about her take on the new #DMsLITE range and her love for Dr. Martens.
Can you walk us through your motivation behind what you created for our new DM’s Lite product?
Having worn Docs for most of my life, I wanted to communicate the lightness of the sole in the city; something that represented how I would incorporate them in my daily life. Especially when it’s as hot as it has been, being able to move more freely is always appreciated!
What inspires or excites you?
Everything and everyone! I pull inspiration from the people around me, the places I travel, my family and friends – everything is a source for inspiration if you keep your eyes open enough.
How would you describe your style?
If I could describe it that easily it would probably be relatively similar day to day – but I like to think it evolves and changes with my moods and where I’m at in life.
Tell us about your first pair of Dr. Martens:
I got my first Docs when I was 8 years old – so over 20 years ago. They were purple, and probably my favorite shoes ever. Since then, I’ve had over 30 pairs in my life, and it’s definitely been a long love-story with the brand. Some of my most favorite memories have been made in Dr. Martens.
What do you stand for?
I stand for the equality and freedom of all persons to be treated with inalienable respect and dignity.
