As expected, the Vans/Dave the Chimp launch party proved a big hit with London’s eastenders. With free booze and sexy ladies rife throughout the venue, I managed to catch a few words with the artist. Having moved to Berlin to continue his career, Dave showed no sign of tuning down his eccentricity appearing in a purple tailored cape and mask. Despite what many forums will have you believe, he is a lovely chap not afraid to speak to meager mortals such as myself.
Them boys from the Death house were present as were Facso and co. to witness the miming madness and sets from DJ Stool Pigeon, Robots in Disguise and Le Couteaur Jaune. The shoes are on sale now at all regular Vans retailers.
