Little Simz x Vans: the rapper and the streetwear brand team up for a new collaboration!

The famous streetwear brand VANS is continuing its captivating and unique collaborations. After collaborating with Swarovski in 2022 and Suprême in June 2023, it is now teaming up with versatile British artist LITTLE SIMZ. This latest creation is based on the iconic Slip-On silhouette.

The love affair between Little Simz and Vans began last April with the “This is Off The Wall” campaign. The artist was one of the brand’s new ambassadors. The aim of the campaign was to highlight a series of styles that represent the individuality and self-expression that each ambassador embodies.

So it’s only natural that Little Simz is once again working with Vans to launch his first project paying homage to his favourite model: the classic Slip-On silhouette. The iconic black and white chequered pattern is pushed aside to make way for distorted check patterns seen through a kaleidoscope, with twisted graphics in shades of red, blue, green, black and white.

Little Simz: the multi-faceted artist

Rapper and musician, Little Simz, real name Simbiatu Ajikawo, is an unrivalled British artist. 
 
At just 29 years of age, Little Simz already has a very full curriculum. With 5 (highly acclaimed) albums to her name (A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons in 2015, Stillness In Wonderland in 2016, Grey Area in 2019, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert in 2021 and No Thank You in 2022), the British rapper shares her thoughts on systemic racism, inequality and her relationship with mental health. 
 
Her latest album, No Thank You, released in 2022, catapulted her onto the international scene, making her “one of the best contemporary female rappers”, according to Kendrick Lamar himself.
