House of Vans experience Berlin
Posted 01/23/2012 by Vans Benelux
Last Wednesday Vans launched its spring OTW line during Fashion Week in Berlin as part of a 3 day pop up House of Vans experience featuring live performances by the Patta Sound System, Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def) and new OTW advocate Lupe Fiasco.
Nearly a thousand people braved the rain to check out the free exhibition by the Vans OTW advocates, which included photography by Parisian Dimitri Coste, an art installation by Brooklyn-based Eric Elms and sculptures by Hong Kong resident Chris Kong.
Lupe Fiasco performed crowd favorites “Kick, Push” and “Superstar.” Live music played throughout the venue and Yasiin Bey brought the house down with an inspired performance of classic favorites and new material.
Vans served free drinks from Parliament Vodka and Corona and the party didn’t stop until the early hours of the morning.
The House of Vans was open to the public for 2 day's to explore the advocates’ art installations. Vans skate legend Ray Barbee was playing acoustic sets.
House of Vans was also the host of the official after party for the Bright European Skate Awards in partnership with Vice music site noisey and live performances by Turbowolf, Black Spiders and Disco Dogs.
