DIY inspiration: Customized Vans

These Vans have been customized by Honestly WTF's Erica Coffman for charity. A group of celebrities, designers and bloggers were asked to give their spin on the classic Vans shoe. My favourite design was Erica Coffman's, and I'm thinking this would be a great DIY project! I don't know how thick the material would be, but this concept can be applied to anything: a top, a skirt, shorts! So simple and such a great result. On another note, Kristen Stewart was also asked to design one for charity (which aims to stimulate creativity), and this is what she came up with: scribbling her initials on them. Seriously?! I don't really see this design inspiring anyone to be more creative..

    I agree, I mean c'mon Kristen, really? How original...lol. Although I'm loving the colorful ones! Is that stitched? Beautiful and amazing work!

    I love the colorful shoes! I could see painting a similar design with fabric paint and that blue painter's tape to get the straight lines and clean edges.

    The initial shoes, on the other hand... I'm at a loss for words on those.

    The K-Stew pair will appeal to all the Twi-hards or maybe those who share her initials? The first pair is beautiful though! xx
