Surf Culture Style

In4mation and Vans Team Up for Rad Summer Fashion

— July 16, 2010 — Fashion
In this video for the In4mation and Vans summer collaboration, you'll see a lifestyle characterized by fun, the beach and a surfboard. The collection is fun-loving and free-spirited.

This collaboration is ingenious. The output is a creative collection of unique t-shirts with designs you cannot find anywhere else. In4mation and Vans is a very exciting team, and their video to show off the collection gives me summer-lovin' butterflies.

Implications - The American west coast has a deep resonance with young consumers because of the particular lifestyle that goes along with it. Young demographics are less preoccupied with buying a house and starting a family then their parents generation. Companies should consider this shift when branding themselves towards this group.

3. Young Consumer Lifestyle - The shift in young consumers' priorities towards experiences and lifestyle over traditional milestones creates opportunities for brands to align their messaging and products with this mindset, as demonstrated by the In4mation and Vans collaboration.
Industry Implications
