Chicago-based creative Joe Freshgoods Robinson has teamed up with Vault by Vans for a second collection of shoes and apparel. Titled “Chocolate Valley Resort,” the collection is themed on the experience of the traveler through a Black lens.

In a press release, he explained, “Chocolate Valley Resort is inspired by my love for travel and research. For this collection I wanted to create something that aligns with the rich history of Vault by Vans, but from a new perspective. Chocolate Valley Resort marries the history of Black travel and leisure with winter-ready pieces that blend playfulness and functionality.”

Providing some background on the capsule’s color pallette, Joe added, “It’s always a goal of mine to use shades of pink in all of my collection. It’s the first color that inspired my design language many years ago. Since the collection is based around cold weather, I wanted to create a full range of items that would work especially for those Midwest winters. And to really lean into winter travel we infused a “quilted” design pattern across many of the pieces.”

Priced from $50 for a t-shirt up to $265 for a puffer jacket, Vans and Joe Freshgoods collection launches on January 21, 2022 at Joe Freshgood’s Chicago store Every Now & Then and joefreshgoods.com, followed by select locations of Vault by Vans retailers globally and vans.com.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
