The TATE x Dr. Martens limited-edition collection features special boots and bags

TATE is a network of four art galleries in the UK that holds the national collection of British art from 1500 to the present day and international modern and contemporary art.

The galleries are TATE Britain, TATE Liverpool, TATE St Ives, and TATE Modern. All of these galleries showcase different forms of art from many artists.

The gallery aims to spread a grasp regarding the importance of art in people's lives and its influence over society for many decades. To take a step further towards it, the network decided to step foot in the footwear world by collaborating with Dr. Martens.

The collaboration is all about the art pieces created by Ithell Colquhoun, who was affiliated with surrealism and was part of the British Surrealist Group in the late 1930s.

Colquhoun painted representations of humans and landscapes in fourth-dimensional spaces, detailing points where energy flows can be exchanged. People from the world of art and fashion know her as an interesting and prolific painter.

The footwear brand described:

"Ithell Colquhoun was a provocative artist who refused to conform or compromise. Her work is deeply grounded in the occult and nature — and frequently explores sex and gender. Often overlooked alongside the towering male figures of Surrealism, our collection with Tate celebrates her work. Our boots provide a new canvas for two of her most expressive works: ‘Volcanic Flare’ and ‘Example of Decalcomania Technique’ © Tate."

Dr. Martens' 1460 boot, which features her Volcanic Flare and Example of Decalcomania Technique, is a shrine to Ithell Colquhoun's fame.

The latter is colored in vivid shades of green, red, and yellow and is filled with explosive designs. The second is clothed in monochrome to symbolize her use of watercolors in her work.

The two are integrated into one fashionable bag made of leather with black details and metallic logos. The collaborative boot has AirWair pull tabs and signature yellow stitching atop Dr. Martens' signature rubber outsole.
