Going through the Democratique Socks history book towards our 10th anniversary in 2022 we´re mowing towards the AW15 collection where we got a unique chance to work with the Ivy League master Mark McNairy - Mark McNairy New Amsterdam.
We had all options open as long as we did camo socks and checked socks. We combined the Buffalo Check and the Camo pattern with the iconic McNairy ducks, daisy and dots.
The socks went global to selected menswear retailers including the late Colette in Paris. We also got heavy media coverage from all over the world and Instagram gave the socks its own life - including @fredrikrisvik, @martinthemeat and @virgthebird. We promise you´ll hear more about these guys later in our 10th Anniversary Stories.
The socks became collectors items and its still possible to find them on internet auctions. The same goes for the book "Socks - The rule book" by late Sock Club London where the socks was featured.
