To commemorate their long-standing relationship with music and 50th anniversary of the 1460 boot named after its release on April 1st, 1960, Dr. Martens had invited ten contemporary musicians to cover cult classics that embody the brand’s attitude. Collaborating with ten (both emerging and established) directors, the tracks are translated to videos which will appear consecutively on the anniversary blog. The short films are artful and absent of product placement-like footage, instead devoted to marking the intimacy between the work boot and musical subcultures over the past five decades. A limited production of 1,460 1460 boots along with 1,461 1461’s will be released to select vendors world wide, both styles available in Black and Cherry Red. Distinguished by “polished pebble leather coupled with gold heel loops and eyelets,” these exclusive Dr. Martens appeal to both devout collectors and new converts of the durable boot that is rich with cultural history. See the first video here and snag a pair for yourself!

[PR designers Emilio Sosa, Seth Aaron Henderson and Jay Nicolas Sario pose with Vivienne Tam and the new digital clutch]
Mingling with this season’s Project Runway contestants and noted fashion designer, Vivienne Tam, mimosas were raised to salute Hewlett Packard‘s new collaboration with the famed show. New technology enables designers to create digital prints that can then be translated onto fabric and was used in a recent episode’s design challenge. Remaining competitor, Emilio Sosa, gravitates towards “free form” which he attributes to growing up in the Bronx where it was “all about graffitti.” Along with their TouchSmart Notebook, a computerized sketchbook, HP predicts the digital tool will help to redefine the fashion, amplifying the design process and allowing designers to create their own fabrics. Vivienne Tam agreed, dubbing it a new frontier in the industry and also promoted her very cool butterfly design on HP’s new digital clutch during the event. The Vivienne Tam/HP handheld computer, which resembles a purse, also doubles as an accessory with a dual function, and is available for pre-order this month.
