DR. MARTENS SPEAKS TO MATIERE
Many designers at Men’s New York Fashion Week chose to incorporate Dr. Martens into their runway styles. We caught up with a few talented designers and creative directors and asked them about their new lines and their Docs. Here, we spoke to Scot Shandalove of Matiere to find out about their Spring Summer 2017 collection.
Tell us about your first pair of Dr. Martens
The 1461 shoe. I was 15 years old and bought them while living in Scottsdale.
Can you tell us a bit about your new collection and why you chose to incorporate Dr. Martens into you show for NYFW?
The collection was conceived because of our love of San Francisco, The Grateful Dead, and the port. We wanted to incorporate the 1461 White Mono shoe, as it felt like a great compliment to some of the collection pieces. It really helped elevate some of our casual looks into a more sophisticated direction.
What do you stand for?
We are a casual contemporary luxury brand that focuses on materials and technical functionality.
