50 years of Dr. Martens with Verbal & Yoon

1960年にイギリスで発売され郵便局員や警察官の間で人気となり、ファッション界、音楽界に潜り込んできた、Dr. Martens(ドクター・マーチン)が50周年を記念して4月20日(火)青山のLe Baron de Parisにおいてイベントを開催。もちろん、記念モデル(8ホール、3ホール)も発表される他、これまでとは違った素材感にハトメもゴールドで記念モデルにとてもふさわしい仕上げだ。また、50周年記念カバー(ビジュアル)に、世界中から10組のアーティストたちが選ばれているのだが、そのなかの1組にAMBUSH® DESIGNVERBAL & YOON)が選ばれているのだ。気になるカバー曲はというと、ザ・ランナウェイズ(RUNAWAYS)の 「CHERRY BOMB」ということ。ななななんと、ボーカルを担当するのは我らがYOOOOOOOOON chan。楽しみすぎる。

Dr. Martens is a brand that symbolizes a strong connection between fashion, music and lifestyle. They have gathered 10 different artitsts from different corners of the globe to record 10 tracks which will be released over the next couple of months.

Together they make up the AMBUSH design collective, a brand which has received growing international attention through the pair’s popular appearances during New York and Paris fashion weeks as well as in internationally regarded publications such as DAZEDDIGITAL. They will be covering ‘Cherry Bomb’ by the Runaways, which will be released September 1st.
