Though they may boast different musical styles, artists Nile Rodgers and Beabadoobee find common ground in their roles as cultural changemakers who support and elevate overlooked communities. The inspiring pair make their debut as members of the Clarks collective in the new campaign, reflecting on their commitment to uplifting others, the mottos that keep them going and the power they find in being your authentic self.
Like the originators of the Clarks collective, the new silhouette adopts the best features of the ‘90s Big Gripper model and the popular Wallabee to create a design that fits for the needs of today. From its chunky, ribbed outsole to its soft-touch upper, the versatile shoe results in a modern look with a vintage edge.
Torhill Hi
At just 23 years old, Beabadoobee is already loved and celebrated for her unique pop-meets-rock-via-folk sound. With a bedroom-like production quality, she’s fostered a raw and unpolished feel that’s garnered her fans from across the globe. She attributes her success to several Asian artists such as the band LUSH, who helped her navigate a difficult time moving from the Philippines to the UK. Using music as an outlet for her emotions, the singer says, “I hope I can also influence at least one young girl to do the same.” Adding that it’s all about “having confidence in your opinions in order to fight for change.”
BEABADOOBEE
SINGER AND SONGWRITER
Globally-renowned artist and self-proclaimed “debonair man about town” Nile Rodgers possesses a musical oeuvre that almost everyone is familiar with. Whether it's the disco hits from his band CHIC or countless produced singles for the likes of Madonna or David Bowie, he’s transcended genres with his everlasting sound. Although he spends most of his life looking forward, the artist says his motto is to “to look back, but never stare.” It’s what keeps him on top of his game.
NILE RODGERS
SONGWRITER, PRODUCER AND ARTIST
However, Rodgers has spent as much time in his life producing records as he has serving the community. His efforts have spanned anti-racism work, supporting the rights of LGBTQIA+ communities, and through his We Are Family Foundation, he also gives back to local youth-led organizations. Whilst the artist doesn’t like to brag about his philanthropy, he shares how it is “spiritually rewarding when you see people's lives transformed.” Dancing through the campaign video – pearls on his outfit swaying – he looks down at his new Torhill shoes and adds, “I hope my style is a reflection of who I am.”
