Vans teams up with musician and muse Jesse Jo on a second collection, featuring cut-offs, jean jackets, cropped tops, fanny pack, backpacks, sox and even boy undies. Jo has been labeled the anti-it girl and indeed she does fly under the radar, which is kind of a nice–leave a little room for some mystery for a change.

See the rest of the lookbook on the next page, including a very neat blue velour mini dress with a cut out back.

Vans reached out to Disney for a women’s collaboration and not surprisingly the young-at-heart (not to mention furry) Minnie Mouse was chosen to represent. Lord knows she deserves another pair of shoes in her closet besides those weird over-sized pink pumps she’s been wearing for basically ever. Now at least she’ll have something to change into after posing with tourists at the park all day. As for detailes, these are a Japan exclusive that will launch October 7th. Via Espionagekicks.

Enjoy a look at the lovely Bijules and too caliente for words Lorenzo Martone as they showcase their Nycked Swimwear collection and the funky collaborative vans gladiator sandals for the resort 2012 season.

The first stop on Vans x WAH nails “Style Night Out” tour kicked off in London, last Thursday at the Vans Carnaby store, and we had HS reporter Phoebe Lovatt to cover the event. Twenty women were chosen by Vans to receive style makeovers by a team led by WAH Nails and Bleach London, with fashion provided by Vans. It’s a bit of a world tour so more “Style Night Out” events are planned for Amsterdam (July 19th), Berlin (July 20th) and Milan (July 21st). For more info on upcoming events, visit Van’s Europe Facebook page.

Vans continues down the path of world female sneaker domination, this time via a collaboration with Japanese-based X-Girl on a pair of sequin Sk8-Hi kicks. They’re available now though not so sure how easy they are to purchase outside of Japan.

We have to give propers to Vans, who lately seem to be making all the right moves when it comes to the ladies. Up until now the focus has largely been great collaborations on shoes, but we’re loving the latest endeavor–for a select group of women, a Milan style night, which will include image consultants plus the very awesome Wah Nails to provide manicures. We assume Wah is responsible for the design shown in the above poster, which, luv the drips over the trademark Vans checker board! Via Shedonism.

These Vans Hadley Lo kicks were customized with studs and other details by Medievel just for Hellz head designer, Lanie Alabanza. Post-makeover, the shoes have been deemed “Fvckboutin” (inspired obvs to some degree by Louboutins’s studded sneakers)  and they are about as sick as a shoe can be.

Vans is hooking up again with streetwear label Hellz on a second collaboration that includes 90s-inspired creepers (above), buckle boots, and bags. The interesting twist is that the launch party will take place at Vans flagship store in Manila (that’s in the Phillipines if you’re geographically challenged like me) later this month. Nice work, ladies!

A little shine to a classic silhouette is oftentimes all you need. The”Glitter Dot” Vans are hot. Period. Spotted at eukicks, available also in black at Wishatl. Next page for more images.

The streetwear sites are jumping all over these Vans, customized with Hermes prints as created by stylist Robert Verdi. Not quite sure why they’re popping up now because it appears the images were uploaded to Flickr in August 2010. So much of the appeal is that it’s Hermes, whose status is farily high these days, plus the fact that the prints are to some degree recognizable. Could the same concept have been carried out with Chanel or LV? Or do both of those brands essentially begin and end with their logos?
