As well as curating and co-editing the complete magazine, I also compiled the archival research and wrote a number of features covering innovative figures from the brand and its musical legacy.

With an ethos of “contextualising the present by exploring the past” Original Shift was tasked with covering the history of Dr. Martens as well as positioning it in a contemporary light. The result was a coffee-table book. As editor-in-chief, I established the editorial direction and execution, edited the publication, wrote several features, and defined the roll out strategy for its release.

As Original Shift’s first-ever independently published book, we teamed up with London- based label Aeliza for its third anniversary. As well as the book, we curated an exhibition space, pop-up, and a panel talk hosted by myself.
