Straight-Up: Dr Martens

As the i-Conic Dr. Martens opened the doors to its new retail home on Carnaby Street, i-D photographer Piczo was there, camera in hand to shoot a series of Straight-Ups.

 

The subcultures who have championed Dr. Martens reads like a ‘Who’s Who’ of youth culture. Over the last fifty years, Northampton craftsmanship has consistently combined with a rebellious spirit. From Skins to Britpop, punks to two tone, grunge to goth, Dr. Martens have been ubiquitous throughout. As the British footwear institution celebrated moving into its new retail home in the heart of Soho, we captured snapshots of the current generation of fans and asked them about their leather love.
