Clarks Expands Beyond Footwear
Clarks Originals has unveiled its first-ever clothing line. The brand also added a guest creative director and announced a collaboration with Copenhagen-based menswear label NN07.
The unisex apparel, revealed at Paris Fashion Week Men’s, draws inspiration from Clarks’ Wallabee, Desert Boot, and Desert Trek silhouettes. The collection includes T-shirts, caps, and socks. It features earthy tones and heritage colors, including Clarks’ signature green.
The T-shirts use heavyweight cotton with a boxy cut and bold graphics on the back. Caps have a curved peak, soft structure, and an embroidered logo. Socks also feature heavyweight cotton with Wallabee and Trek Man designs. The SS26 line launches globally on Clarks’ webstore.
Guest Creative Director Blanche Yu Debuts Desert Riders
Blanche Yu, a Chinese-Mongolian artist, joins as guest creative director for AW26. Her Desert Riders collection fuses American silhouettes with Mongolian influences.
The line features leather boots, lug-sole boat shoes, and workwear-inspired garments with detailed embellishments. Yu incorporates charms, beads, studs, and hand-embroidered motifs. Woven leather panels and layered textiles draw from traditional saddles and ceremonial Mongolian uniforms. She has collaborated with Loewe and exhibited internationally.
Clarks x NN07 Collaboration Updates Classics
Clarks’ NN07 collaboration launches for AW26. The partnership emphasizes quality, craftsmanship, and modern casual style.
The Desert Boot is refreshed in black leather with a silver buckle strap while keeping the co-branded Fobs on a silver ball chain. The Wallabee retains its classic brown leather shape with co-branded Fobs, silver lace aglets and eyelets, and branded sock liners. Both designs are refined using Gold Rated leather from Hoffmans tannery.
