Dr Martens and Central Saint Martins collaborate on design programme
Footwear brand Dr Martens has announced another collaboration with London art school Central Saint Martins.

Selected by a panel of judges led by MA Fashion Course Leader, Fabio Piras, and Dr Martens Global Creative Director, Darren McKoy, the 2023 design programme will give nine competing fashion MA students the opportunity to “reimagine” Dr Martens iconic 1460 boot.

Four winners will receive a £5,000 ($4,000) bursary towards their final year studies and see their design concepts manufactured in a limited edition run of prototype boots, at the Dr Martens factory in Northamptonshire. The boots will be featured in the students own graduate shows along with an installation showcase at London Fashion Week.

The nine finalists are; Atli Alfredsson, Joyce Bao, Dhruv Bandil, Yanya Cheng (Alice), Alvaro Martinez, Valeria Pulici, Maximillian Raynor, Traiceline Pratt and Finlay Vincent Roberts. The four winners will be announced in February 2024.
