Vans is bringing three limited collaborations to Paris Fashion Week, giving Vanna Youngstein, Lorenzo Fioravanti, and a third creative partner room to reinterpret some of the brand’s most familiar silhouettes. Four colorways are included, but none are headed for a standard retail release.
Beads and charms connect the group, carrying over the handcrafted styling that helped earlier Vans projects gain attention. The finishes move in opposite directions. Some pairs arrive already scuffed and dirtied, while others keep a fresh, untouched appearance.
Vanna Youngstein brings her Y2K-heavy design language to the collection. Iridescent flowers and athletic-style lettering reference the cropped tees, tanks, and vintage sportswear that regularly appear in her work.
Lorenzo Fioravanti uses a tan and white Vans Slip-On as his canvas, spray painting graphics all over the upper. The artwork mimics a one-of-one custom while maintaining the identifiable silhouette of the laceless shoe.
Vans will distribute all three collaborations exclusively to members of its extended Friends and Family community during Paris Fashion Week. No public launch, pricing, or wider availability has been announced.
