Projects' Staff Weekly Obsession: Dr. Martens.

Tina is happy Dr.Martens are in her life again.

Dr. Martens have made a comeback this season and can be seen as the "It" boots. Dr.M has become something more fashionable than punk and grunge this season with its bright, bold, fun colors. Model Agyness Deyn, a fashion icon has been spotted wearing Dr. Martens in these bright colors with jeans, skirts and dresses.


It gives an outfit an edgy appeal with attitude. Dr. Martens have had a long history and they seem to attract different clicks, usually hardcore punk, metal or grunge fans. But watch out because this time around, its associated only with hardcore fashionistas.
