Overview

RVCA is a U.S. lifestyle apparel brand founded in California in 2001 by Pat Tenore (PM Tenore) and professional surfer Conan Hayes. With roots in action sports such as surfing and skateboarding, it offers men’s and women’s apparel and sportswear. The brand aims to connect art, music, and fashion, and takes “The Balance of Opposites,” representing the coexistence of opposites, as its philosophy. Through its Artist Network Program, it supports artists’ work and has expanded internationally as a brand spanning art and action sports.

ANP is a product line derived from the Artist Network Program, established by RVCA to introduce and support artists. It offers graphic products created in collaboration with artists and, unlike VA Sport, which emphasizes functionality, serves to reflect RVCA’s connection to art in its products. RVCA materials explicitly identify it as a product line; rather than a one-off collaboration, it is an ongoing initiative based on the brand’s artist network.

VA Sport is a performance line developed by RVCA to extend its action-sports background into functional apparel for training and competition. In contrast to its main lifestyle apparel, it is positioned with an emphasis on functionality during exercise and is still treated as a sportswear collection in RVCA’s official online store. Its purpose is distinct from other offerings centered on art and everyday wear, as it serves the sports and training category.
