House Music Meets Desert Artistry Olafur Eliasson's - Shadows travelling on the sea of the day!
Vinyl Vandals is excited to showcase our apparel collection through a unique photoshoot set against the stunning backdrop of Olafur Eliasson's "Shadows travelling on the sea of the day" installation in northern Qatar. This mesmerizing artwork, near Zubarah Fort, features vast mirrored discs reflecting the desert's expanse, creating a surreal, otherworldly experience.
Highlighting the T-Shirts:
Our t-shirt, emblazoned with "House Music, That's What I'm Into," is a tribute to house music lovers worldwide. This piece embodies the spirit of vinyl enthusiasts and DJs, core elements of Vinyl Vandals.
The Location:
Eliasson's installation, under the patronage of H.E. Sheikha Al Mayassa Bint Hamad Al Thani, is a recent addition to Qatar's rich cultural tapestry. It mirrors the desert below, immersing visitors in an ethereal limbo, perfect for capturing the essence of our brand.
Vinyl Vandals Brand:
Vinyl Vandals is more than just a brand; it's a movement celebrating the rich culture of house music and vinyl records. Our limited-edition apparel pieces are not just clothing but statements of passion and dedication to the music that unites us. Each piece is designed with the vinyl enthusiast in mind, making it a must-have for any true fan.
Art Meets Music:
When art meets music, endless possibilities emerge. Eliasson's work transforms the landscape into a reflective wonderland, much like how house music transforms ordinary nights into unforgettable experiences. This synergy between visual and auditory art forms creates a profound connection that resonates with our community.
Significance of Limited Edition Apparel:
Our limited edition apparel is a testament to our commitment to quality and exclusivity. Each release is carefully crafted to ensure that our fans receive something truly special, reflecting their unique tastes and the vibrant culture of house music. These pieces are not just fashion; they are collectables that carry the essence of the Vinyl Vandals ethos.
The Photoshoot:
The photoshoot was done using an iPhone 15 Pro Max and shot by Toyan G and Alexandra G on a hot day in the desert. Despite the challenging conditions, the outcome was nothing short of spectacular, capturing the essence of our brand in a setting that mirrors the transformative power of house music.
Connecting Music and Art:
Just as house music unites people on dance floors globally, Eliasson's art connects viewers to their inner selves. This synergy between music and art amplifies the cultural significance of our photoshoot, making it an unforgettable experience for Vinyl Vandals.
Conclusion:
Our latest photoshoot not only highlights our dedication to house music and vinyl culture but also celebrates the fusion of art and fashion in an inspiring setting. Stay tuned for more creative collaborations and exclusive apparel drops from Vinyl Vandals.

Celebrating over 18 years of Vinyl Vandals... We Are Raya illustration
To celebrate over 18 years of Vinyl Vandals and mark the year our apparel would fall into dormancy, it was only right that we found a way to transcend through the memories of time...
It was a pleasure to collaborate with We Are Raya to create a Vinyl Vandals masterpiece that brings many memories in one banging illustration.
The music, vinyl, and fashion culture allowed the creative souls affiliated with the Vv brand to touch many.
From feeling the bass and groove or the many experiences with the Vv collective would always be a snapshot moment, remembered by a smile.
Acknowledging Vv clothing on another person would always bring a warm feeling, knowing the connection was pure and esoteric.
From the Yellow Vv business cards, Huddersfield Carnival Tent in the park, Vv Smart Car, Brown paper bags, The bedroom sessions in Manchester, Southport Weekend 46 chalet party, The famous Yorkshire Vv Cow, Customised T-shirt printing & countless one-off designs, DJ sets far & wide, Record boxes, Vinyl & Turntables, Nike Vandals & more, we hope you all remember the moments that built Vv into the brand it is today!
Thank you to the ladies at We Are Raya for bringing these memories back to life - follow we are Raya here
