Legendary British footwear brand Dr. Martens has arrived in Manchester, with the opening of its newest store in the centre of Market Street.
The brand celebrated the anticipated opening with an in-store launch
party on Wednesday (1 August), attended by Manchester’s style setters,
industry players, media and local music figures including Elbow’s Guy Garvey, Pete Jobson from I Am Kloot, The Whip, Kid British, The MINX and The Pins. Partygoers were treated to a performance by Deadbeat Echoes and a set by XFM presenter and DJ Clint Boon, with drinks supplied by the Hornbeam Brewery.
Ardwick-born artist Mark Kennedy, known
for his iconic Manchester artwork such as the famous Afflecks Palace
mosaic, unveiled his new piece for the store. Featuring the likes of
Karl Marx, David Lloyd-George, Morrissey, George Best and Agyness Deyn,
the piece celebrates iconic local figures from history to modern day –
all shaped in a pair of classic Dr. Martens boots (even the soles are a
reference to Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasure Album).
Best wishes to Dr. Martens in Manchester, great event, great brand.
