“I’m excited to continue expanding the definition of what a gallery is capable of by including works that are both sculptures and fashion items,” says Paul Hill, Founder of Strada and co-designer of the Glacier bag. “Co-designing this bag with another future-oriented designer such as Josh encapsulates both of our missions so clearly.”
Strada’s community-based approach to build an immersive art experience evidently compliments Raiffe’s love for self-expression and genuine creativity through hands-on design and excellent craftsmanship. “At every juncture, Strada has been unwavering and encouraging in affording me the freedom to be creative and express myself, all the while adding a daring and unique voice to this collaboration,” says Raiffe.
The project features an original artwork, offered in both a large and miniature size, and comes in a gradient finish of the iconic Strada blue. The bags are available now on the new Strada website.
Vans has demonstrated their inclination towards authenticity through past campaigns and products, but part of moving through the world in a true-to-self way is by making new art. To Vans, this means the revival of a classic. Alongside the new campaign, Vans has announced the drop of their Knu Skool Silhouette. Reminiscent of the past, but refreshed for the present, the Knu Skool shoe is designed with a puffed-up tongue and ankle collar , and signature rubber outsoles, but includes new heel pulls for slip on access as well as the revamped diamond Sidestripe.
“I mean, that’s just the beauty of life, you can’t be anybody else but yourself.” A straightforward yet epitomizing sentiment expressed by Vans skate team rider Beatrice Domond. The inspiring campaign as well as the Knu Skool™ shoe are reflective of Van’s message, which is ultimately to look within to discover your true self.
