Meet our Artistic Director: SZA.

[Joint Statement from VANS & SZA]

VANS:

Meet our Artistic Director: SZA.

“In Vans, I feel free!” says SZA.

“I’ve been wearing Knu Skools and other styles for years,

they’ve always had an ethos I connect with.

As Artistic Director, my mission is to show that joy, community, creativity, and fashion are all still intersectional.

That humanity, culture, and connection

are still the access points.”

[Video Transcription - Narration: SZA the Artistic Director, VANS]

I can't whisper anymore

Especially in places meant to soundproof me

Stretch your wings

As wide as the wind allows

What you call limitations are opportunities

To excavate your greatness

Maybe things weren't falling apart

Maybe things were shifting into place

Your saltiest moments

Led to your sweetest grace

Even when you tried to outrun yourself

You always end up back home
