Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai, designers of Vena Cava, recently designed a pair of high-top Converse sneakers for the 1HUND(RED) project, an organization striving to eliminate AIDS in Africa. The limited edition kicks look similar to their recent collection for The Gap.

I never viewed Vena Cava as one of the classier labels on the market, but designers Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock are certainly turning the tables. Spring 2010 introduced a bit more simplistic style with subtle details, while maintaining their playful patterns in elegant cuts. But don’t be fooled, the collection still holds onto that darker, downtown vibe Vena Cava is so well know for!

Thanks Style!

The resort 09 collection for the Vena Cava label has been released. Teamed up designers Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock have allowed Vena Cava to soar. The line features a number of materials that allow the designs to speak for themselves. Models strutted in sunglasses as they advocated for the collection. Sporting simplistic designs that are clearly wearable, the Vena Cava collection embodied an intact undeniable elegance.
