The Collaboration
Vans and Ralph Steadman join forces to create a collection of shoes and apparel featuring missing animals from around the world.
The collection is directly pulled out from three books illustrated by Ralph Steadman. Offering an artful, original, and expressive way of awareness towards endangered species.
The Quotes
“We’ve always maintained that you’ve got to make people laugh in order to engage them. If we just tell people, ‘you’re all dreadful bastards, you’ve screwed it all up, and now look what’s going to happen,’ people go, ‘yeah, whatever.’ But if you make them laugh, you’ve got a chance.” – Ceri Levy
A Charity Call
Vans’ collaboration with the Gonzovationists is funded by a partnership with WildAid. An organization that aims to reduce global consumption of wildlife products and strengthen support for conservation efforts. Moreover, Vans will donate $10,000 to charity, plus a series of donation facilities complemented by Steadman’s original works in his New York pop-up.
