Valentino × Vans was a fast-paced collaboration that brought together the visual language of Valentino with one of Vans’ most iconic silhouettes. Working to a tight timeline, I supported the development of the footwear, helping translate the design intent into production-ready product while maintaining the level of quality expected from both brands.

My role focused on artwork refinement, technical CAD development and creating the production-ready technical packs used throughout the development process. During the project, the footwear was re-engineered from an initial premium construction to a classic Vans build, requiring the design to be adapted while preserving the overall aesthetic.

The collaboration received significant international press coverage and demonstrated the pace and precision required to deliver a high-profile product partnership.
