Vincent van Gogh’s art is inseparable from his personal struggles and reflections. His correspondence reveals a man of profound sensitivity and resilience.
‘Be in no doubt, though – the way to succeed is – to keep courage and patience, and to carry on working hard.’
Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo, on or about Tuesday, 2 February 1886.
The story behind the collaboration
Recognizing the importance of creating space for self-expression and mental well-being, especially for younger generations, each item in the Shoe Palace x Van Gogh Museum apparel collection serves as an invitation to reflect on creativity, resilience, and the power of staying true to one's vision.
This apparel collection was created especially by the Shoe Palace team and launched at the end of 2024 with a total of 38 styles. The collection features T-shirts, tops, knit fleece items, trousers and outerwear. All of the garments are inspired by Van Gogh's masterpieces from the Van Gogh Museum's collection, such as Head of a Skeleton, Almond Bossom and Pieta (after Milet).
