Vans has partnered with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam on a collection that brings the Dutch artist’s masterpieces to Vans’ iconic shoes and apparel.
The brand and the museum selected four main bodies of work to be used as themes in the collection – Skull, Almond Blossom, Sunflowers and the artist’s self-portrait.
Van Gogh’s studies of skeletons, carried out when he began to formally study art, will be seen on the Vans Classic Slip-On, a long-sleeve tee, hoodie and hat, each incorporating the details of his brushstrokes in a reimagined checkerboard print.
