Aimée Wilder

Born and raised in New York, designer Aimée Wilder’s parents exposed her to fashion trends and textiles from an early age, which laid the foundation for her diverse interests in art and design. After graduating from the School of The Art Institute of Chicago in 2001, Aimée developed a body of fine-art illustrations that led to design positions at several well-known firms, including Dwell Studio, Martha Stewart Living, and The Gap. In 2008, Vans took notice of her bold designs and playful aesthetic and featured three of her patterns on thirty styles of shoes and fashion accessories, bringing Wilder’s work to a global audience.
