This October, Karen Walker welcomes Dr. Martens to Playpark by Karen Walker with a capsule collection of brand new and iconic Dr. Martens silhouettes. With five styles in the capsule, four of which are exclusive to Karen Walker in New Zealand, the Dr. Martens styles have been carefully selected to fit alongside Karen Walker’s own collections whilst giving wearers the ultimate flexibility to put their own spin on them.
Karen Walker collections span luxe and street, feminine and masculine, folk and utility and each of the Dr. Martens silhouettes complement this aesthetic, with timeless details, preppy flourishes and mannish style.
The five styles in Karen Walker’s capsule collection include T-bar & tassel loafers and the Dr. Martens classic iconic three eye shoe.
The Willis Creeper has a sleek, modern, pointed silhouette that taps into the rebellious history of the quintessential goth shoe, blending the traditional with a punk edge, with classic Dr. Martens smooth leather in black.
The Gracia, available in black and oxblood, features an adjustable T-bar buckle with an Adrian-style tassel and tons of Docs attitude. This elegant silhouette strikes a balance between a smart work loafer and a ready-to-party shoe.
We first saw the Adrian Tassel Loafer in 1980 and with a double tassel, the traditional slip-on loafer has been a classic since day one. The Dr. Marten styles Karen Walker has selected stay true to the original silhouette but have been updated with a plain welt, no knife fringe, contrast tassels and a soft, supple, waxy leather.
The collection is grounded by the 1461 Dr. Martens classic three eye shoe, finished with Doc’s trademark yellow stitch.
The Dr. Martens capsule collection will be available from 17th October at Playpark by Karen Walker (Newmarket) as well as Karen Walker stores in
Britomart, Ponsonby, Takapuna and Wellington and on karenwalker.com.
