Vans x Vivienne Westwood
Vans and British fashion house Vivienne Westwood have collaborated for the “Anglomania” collection, highlighting individualism. The Anglomania Collection features a Sk8-Hi Platform, Slip-On, Style 53, & an Old Skool.
The Sk8-Hi Platform draws inspiration from Vivienne Westwood’s Pirate boot, boasting key design details from the boot including a tan vegetable dye buckled strap. The Slip-On showcases Vans’ signature checkerboard pattern, layered with the Westwood’s DESTROY graphic. Larger scale checks are then featured diagonally on the vamp. The reintroduced Style 53 is a loafer-style slip-on with a suede upper, black lugged outsole, and a Vivienne Westwood multicolored metal orb. The Old Skool and makes use of the Vivienne Westwood Orb and Lightning Bolt print in oxblood suede and canvas with contrasting mustard stitching and a gum sole.



































































The look and feel of the Sk8-Hi 46 CA of this springs Vans California Collection is in a class of its own. So-called near deer leather is a piece of trade vernacular for one thing, and one thing only: premium full grain leather as supple and smooth as they come. A dark, rich navy tone on vamp, eyestay, tongue, heel, and the front portion of a split side panel offers an intriguing contrast to the boldly striped, washed textile that runs from side panel up the ankle and into the lining. Complementing waxed, white laces, a white side-stripe, and a pigskin Vans label on the tongue complete this Sk8-Hi 46 CA silhouette.
