Clarks celebrates 200 years with new documentary
British footwear brand Clarks is marking its 200th anniversary with From Somerset to the World, a documentary tracing its journey from a small family business in 1825 to a global footwear icon.

Directed by Set Free Richardson and narrated by Yasiin Bey, the film explores Clarks’ cultural impact, from its deep roots in Jamaica and its prominence in hip-hop’s golden era to its enduring influence in Japan and beyond.

Featuring insights from Liam Gallagher, Martine Rose, Raekwon, and Terry Zhu, the documentary highlights Clarks’ timeless designs, such as the Desert Boot and Wallabee, and its lasting presence in fashion and music across generations.
