"Fourteen-year-old Anita Baume fell into skateboarding for the most noble of reasons: boys. \"I like the confidence they have and the way they dress,\" she says, laughing. By her definition, this is \"loose and chill\" and includes baggy T-shirts and the original skater shoe, Vans. In fact, she says, kicking up her feet, \"I just got a new pair. They're very tomboy, and I'm not really a girly girl.\" She cites comfort among the virtues of boys' clothes and cops to routinely shopping in the boys' section of stores. She's not alone. Menswear-inspired style has taken over the runways of late, with C\u00E9line's Phoebe Philo even giving a nod to the classic slip-on skater shoe with her own lud-up take on it.\n\nWhat better timing than for Vans to roll out the latest installment of its Van Doren series, featuring six reissued prints for women that date back to the 1970s, '80s, and '90s? The collectible styles range from vintage checkerboard variations to retro daisies. So how will Anita wear them? With oversize T-shirts in \"cool patterns,\" denim cutoffs \"to show off my tanned legs,\" and bright neon beanies\u2014a hat trick she learned from her \"boyfriends,\" as she jokingly refers to her One Direction crushes, Harry Styles and Niall Horan. (Full disclosure: She may have also picked up her flair for color from her mom, Teen Vogue fashion director Gloria Baume\u2014\"but I'm not going to say my mom's cool because she's my mom,\" Anita insists.)\n\nDespite her long, wavy tresses and piercing baby blues, the eighth-grader knows how to roll with the boys. After watching her friend Oliver in action on his board, she requested a lesson and quickly went from spectator to one of the guys. \"I got my own skateboard and started doing it every day,\" she says. In other words, when the new Vans series drops, she's got her own ride to the store, thank you very much.\n\nClick through to see more of the revived shoes!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
