Style icon, filmmaker, author and vintage collector Liz Goldwyn used to be an LA skater girl Unexpectedly, Liz has an equal penchant for vintage couture and Vans sneakers and has high school journals filled with skate stickers, fanzines and t-shirts.
Bringing together the worlds of fashion and skate culture, Liz has designed a limited edition skateboard for Opening Ceremony. Liz is in good company, as she joins fellow skater girl and friend Chloë Sevigny as a designer for the brand.
A nod to her love of the ‘golden age’, the deck features a late 1940s sketch by Rex Huntington, an American burlesque costume designer.
Liz says: “I wanted to make a deck that a skater would think was hot and that a non-skater could appreciate as an object of art and design.”
The skateboard is available at OCNY and OCLA. Read more Q&As with Liz on her Opening Ceremony collaboration here.
Look out for the paperback release of Liz Goldwyn’s first book, Pretty Things: The Last Generation of American Burlesque Queens in December. Christmas wishlist, anyone?
