Patternity x Clarks S/S'14 - The Clothes Maiden Magazine

When it comes to clothes you should really be looking for two things. Black and white. Simple, bold, timeless that looks good with everything. Now we’re not saying that everything should be these two colours, but having one of these as a base makes all other colours stand out even more.

Patternity use simple bold designs inspired by highrises, shadows, geometric shapes and so on. They already have a huge repertoire spreading through crockery, hosiery, homewares and much more. They now have launched two exclusive styles of desert boots with Clarks. This style of boot has always been stylish and ideal for anytime anywhere but with this added excitement Patternity have injected into it, it’s now a must have.

In two colours, white on sand and black on black you can’t really fail. Pair the black with a midi skirt, a turtleneck and a tough leather jacket. Or slip on the sand ones with a pair of faded blue jeans and a baggy T-shirt. Super sleek and stylish no matter how you wear them you will always look the epitome of gorgeous.

The shoes themselves are decorated with bold basic shapes such as squares, circles, triangles, rectangles and thick lines. Considering the S/S’14 season is all about blocks and shape its no wonder Clarks have taken some of that on board.

Patternity itself, is a company founded by photographer/art director Anna Murray and surface/product designer Grace Winteringham, is the worlds leading specialist organisation dedicated solely to pattern. With a drive to explore pattern as an asset in design to inspire and innovate.

The patterns used make the shoes bold and beautiful in a completely unapologetically stylish way. Being Clarks you know the shoes are going to last, be comfy and you know the sole won’t wear through. With the price set at £89, for a pair of shoes that are this stunning and this practical can you really say no? Of course you can’t!

What are you waiting for, shoes that stand the test of time are rare, so why wait?
