Walking the streets of Los Angeles, New York and Toyko you’ll find two simple words sprawled across each city landscape, LOVE ME. Curtis Kulig, the artist behind the iconic message, lives and works in New York City and is the latest to collaborate with Vans on the spring 2013 Classics Collection. Having grown up skateboarding in North Dakota, and wearing Vans since he can remember, Curtis collaborated with Vans designers utilizing the artful message for a three-piece capsule to hit stories February 1, 2013, just in time for Valentine’s day.
LOVE ME is featured in three distinct looks on Vans Classics. The Vans iconic red Authentic is adorned with an all over embroidered LOVE ME while the Checkerboard Slip-On becomes the canvas to a paint splatter design. Finally, the SK8-Hi Slim, a women’s specific style, makes the line and features a oversize embroidered LOVE ME on the side panel.
Meant to be open for interpretation, Vans and Curtis welcome the various interpretations LOVE ME invokes and are excited to launch the collection worldwide this February.
