Hypebeast: Valentino x Vans

Sep 2025

Hypebeast presents a fashion editorial showcasing the collaborative collection between Valentino and Vans. Captured by photographer Jeff Hahn and styled by fashion editor Ignacio de Tiedra, the project explores the intersection of luxury tailoring and skate-inspired streetwear through a series of cinematic, mood-driven vignettes. Set across a variety of locations ranging from dimly lit cinema interiors and urban streets at twilight to convenience store aisles, the editorial emphasizes material contrast. Models are outfitted in structured tweed jackets, vibrant oversized bows, and patterned knitwear, all paired with the collection’s signature checkered sneakers. The imagery employs a moody, analogue-inspired aesthetic, utilizing warm-to-cool lighting palettes to heighten textural detail. Hair styling by Yoshitaka Miyazaki and makeup by Mari Kuno provide a polished, editorial finish to the diverse character portraits. The visual language leans into a cinematic and gritty atmosphere, balancing high-fashion silhouettes with the casual utility of classic footwear.
