Cat Burns Joins Clarks as Brand Ambassador

By Joi Love

Emerging into the spotlight with a unique and vibrant sound that perfectly complements her distinctive style, Cat Burns, the British artist crowned as the best-selling musician of 2022, effortlessly showcases the latest offerings from Torhill.

Her journey began with impromptu street performances in the bustling streets of London, and she seamlessly transitioned that energy to the world of TikTok, experiencing a meteoric rise from zero to half a million followers in just three months. Today, her dedicated following has grown to an impressive 1.3 million. Cat’s ascent to stardom beautifully mirrors the blend of tradition and modernity that Clarks encapsulates.

The new collection from Torhill stands out as a symbol of unisex appeal, drawing inspiration from the iconic Clarks Wallabee and the iconic Big Gripper soles reminiscent of the ’90s.

When reflecting on her experience with the Clarks Torhill, Cat shares a heartfelt testimony of its comfort and style. She expresses, “My sense of style is incredibly important to me and serves as a genuine form of self-expression. I’ve always resonated with gender-neutral clothing, and I believe that’s why I have such a deep appreciation for Clarks. They exude an everyday comfort combined with an iconic vibe. Clarks has always been a staple in my wardrobe, whether I’m at home or on tour.”

Cat’s extraordinary rise to fame didn’t stop at TikTok. She was recognized as a Global RADAR artist by Spotify in 2022 and received a nomination for the “BRITS Rising Star” award. Her influence extends across multiple platforms, with hit singles, appearances on magazine covers ranging from Gay Times to Vogue’s Pride edition, and opening acts for renowned artists like Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the Torhill Hi. Its ribbed sole, borrowed from the Clarks archives, remains as trendy today as it was during the Big Gripper era. Embracing the fresh hues of cobalt blue and cow print for Fall/Winter 2023, alongside classic sand and black suede, Cat embodies the essence of the line as more than just a brand ambassador. The Torhill Hi’s streamlined design, reminiscent of the legendary Wallabee, and the use of premium materials combined with intricate stitching emphasize its relaxed, everyday appeal, all while echoing the unmistakable Clarks DNA.
