A BRAND BUILT ON ICONIC STYLE
Few brands embody fearless fashion, rebellious glamour, and timeless craftsmanship quite like Terry de Havilland. From the 70’s to the red carpets of today, the brand has remained at the forefront of British fashion, dressing music legends, film stars, and fashion icons alike.
In 2024, this legacy was further cemented when Terry de Havilland was featured in the Blenheim Palace ‘Icons of British Fashion’ Exhibition, showcased alongside Vivienne Westwood, Lulu Guinness, and Stella McCartney—a testament to the brand’s enduring influence on the fashion world.
THE GLAM ROCK SEVENTIES – RISE TO ICONIC STATUS
By the 1970s, London was at the heart of a cultural revolution, and Terry de Havilland was right in the middle of it. His distinctive platform heels, bold prints, and dramatic silhouettes caught the attention of the era’s biggest style icons and earned him the title, The ROCK N ROLL Cobbler. Mick Jagger, Bette Midler, and Bianca Jagger became fans, cementing the brand’s place in the glam rock ‘n’ roll scene.
During this time, Terry created the now-legendary Margaux platform, a style that defined an era and continues to be one of the brand’s most iconic silhouettes. With its towering block heel and striking design, the Margaux Wedge quickly became the go-to shoe for anyone who wanted to make a statement.
The 1970s were the decade that truly catapulted Terry de Havilland rise to fashion royalty. His shoes became a staple in the wardrobes of music legends like David Bowie, who embodied the spirit of rebellion and extravagance. The brand’s signature look—platforms, metallics, and bold detailing—became the ultimate fashion statement and he became known as the Rock n Roll Cobbler..
Terry’s fearless approach to design aligned perfectly with the era’s glam rock movement, making his footwear an essential for those who wanted to stand out. This was also the decade that saw his creations featured in Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar, solidifying his reputation as a trailblazer in luxury footwear.
A BRAND ROOTED IN BRITISH HERITAGE & MUSIC HISTORY
Terry de Havilland’s journey began in the heart of London’s 1970s fashion scene, where his bold, avant-garde designs became a staple among rock stars, actors, and style icons. From the Glam Rock era of David Bowie and Debbie Harry to modern-day festival queens like Rita Ora, who headlined Glastonbury in Terry de Havilland festival boots & Amy Winehouse who toured in a bespoke pair of Zap Pow Heels, the brand has always walked hand in hand with music royalty.
The connection between fashion, music, and film has been woven into the brand’s DNA for decades. The iconic snakeskin platforms—a signature of the house—are even on display at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, standing as a historic piece of British fashion.
HOLLYWOOD & POP CULTURE – A STARRING ROLE IN FILM & TV
Terry de Havilland’s designs have graced the silver screen and some of the most iconic TV series in recent history. From the edgy, rebellious Raider Boots worn by Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider to the cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show, where Tim Curry strutted in TDH heels, the brand’s shoes have always made a statement.
Most recently, Sarah Jessica Parker’s iconic character Carrie Bradshaw was seen wearing Terry de Havilland shoes in both Season 1 & 3 of And Just Like That, adding to the brand’s long-standing relationship with high fashion and pop culture. The shoes also made a splash on Netflix’s Emily in Paris, curated by the legendary costume designer Patricia Field, further cementing Terry de Havilland’s reputation as a go-to brand for fashion-forward, statement-making footwear.
