Friday must-see: Clarks & Project Catwalk exhibition

For this weekend we have a `must-see´ instead of a must-have.
As you might know already, Clarks was an official partner of the RTL-5 program Project Catwalk. And even though the program has ended, the collaboration hasn´t.



Jacob Kok was the winner of Project Catwalk. Early on in the show he made an outfit inspired on Clarks shoes and his winning design was inspired on the English countryside. Because of this, the Dutch Leather and Shoe Museum built a mini-exhibition around the winning outfit and the history of Clarks shoes.

The exhibition reflects the development of the English footwear company that exists since 1825. The exhibition includes famous Clarks models such as the Desert Boot and Lugger.

The Clarks & Project Catwalk exhibition is until January 29, 2012.

Will you go and have a look at the exhibition?
Have a good weekend!
