KENZOxVANS

KENZO reprises its partnership with the iconic skate brand Vans with a new footwear collaboration. In a raw reportage featuring images and videos, Ari Marcopoulos captures seven real skaters and friends in Los Angeles – Tre’Veon Ladson, Tyron Watts, Vincent Nava, Omoye Brown, Surish Singh, David Branom and Rebecca L’Amore. Outfitted in pieces from the capsule against the Californian backdrop, the campaign provides an intimate insight into their everyday lives.
Vivid, all-over floral prints taken from the KENZO archives wrap the legendary Vans Sk8-Hi high-top sneaker, and the Old-Skool low-top sneaker. Expanding on the skate inspiration is a capsule of ready-to-wear pieces and accessories designed by Felipe Oliveira Baptista – his first capsule collection for the Maison.
