New York-based graffiti artist turned fashion
designer Claw Money has teamed
up with Vans to do a
line of shoes and accessories for their girl’s line.
The shoes (a high-top and low-top pair), socks and tank tops just hit
stores and surprisingly aren't scrawled with the
'80s-inspired
graffiti and bright colors the artist uses in her own collection, but
rather dark, animal-print pieces informed by Southern California’s
sun-bleached surfers and thriving punk scene.
The collection is festooned in a faded animal print and black canvas,
so the shoes aren’t loud and the tank tops are actually really
wearable.
The Claw Money x Vans Girls line is in stores and at vans.com now and
ranges from $8 for socks to $70 for the high-top “Hadley” sneaker
