Clarks is celebrating its 200th anniversary this year with various releases and campaigns. Recently, the 'Clarks 200. Somerset to the World' documentary was released, featuring names like Ghostface Killah, Liam Gallagher, Danielle Cathari, Martine Rose, Yasiin Bey, and more.
The video tells the story of Clarks, which began in the small English town of Street in Somerset. Back then, Somerset was relatively isolated from the rest of England, creating a self-sufficient environment. This allowed for creativity to flourish, leading to the birth of Clarks. The rest is history.
Over the past 200 years, the brand has grown into one of the world's largest, influencing various subcultures. In the video, the artists, designers, and creatives share their personal connection to the brand. Some have, of course, also had their own collaborations on classic silhouettes like the Wallabee, Torhill Hi, and LG Rambler.
The message of the video is clear: Clarks has a rich history, but it also looks forward with hope to the future – 'Somerset to the World'.
