At Pitti Uomo, Khaki's Past...and Future
If you want to make an historian – and fashion aficionado – happy, send her to an apparel trade show inside a 16th century fortress.
I speak from experience, having recently returned from Pitti Uomo in Florence, Italy. (That's me, smiling, in the picture above.)

Fashion. Innovation. And You.
It’s not every day that you get to build and staff a laboratory dedicated to innovation. From scratch. For me, it’s a dream come true.
What may be interesting to some, is that this innovation lab belongs to Levi Strauss & Co., and not some Bay Area high-tech firm.
My name’s Bart Sights, and I’ll be directing the company’s Innovation Lab. For the past three years, I’ve been leading our global product development center in Corlu, Turkey.

We're LinkedIn. Are You?
Earlier this month, LinkedIn announced that it had more than 200 million members as part of its social network of professionals.
Now, not every one of those members is looking for a job, but if you have a job opening to fill, it’s a good place to let people know.

Give Me Liberty!
Liberty of London is known for, among other things, its floral prints. Levi’s® is known for inventing -- and, then, innovating -- the blue jean. Put the two together and you have a collection that Glamour says could "rock your world."
Not bad, eh?

Greenest Office Building? Meet a Green Remodel.
About the only time a composting toilet ever crosses my mind is when I stumble upon one at, say, a national park.
So when I read about a new Seattle office building, the Bullitt Center, that features not only composting toilets, but also has all its water needs met solely by rainwater, it caught my attention.

The Groom Wore Blue (Jeans)
As a Levi’s® merchandise coordinator, it’s not often I get to help dress a wedding party, but that’s just what happened to me recently.
I was working at Macy’s Oak Court store in Memphis, Tenn., when groom Nick Seccombe and three of his groomsmen approached, looking for wedding wear. They weren’t passing through the Levi’s® section on their way to buy or rent tuxedos. Nick knew exactly what he wanted.

When Giving Back is Personal
We’ve come to expect companies to give back to their communities, especially during the winter holiday season. Levi Strauss & Co. is certainly not unique in that regard. Over the last year the company and the Levi Strauss Foundation together have invested more than $10 million in the communities where our employees live and work – from supporting the Red Cross after Hurricane Sandy to dozens of pioneering grassroots organizations around the globe.

Dress It Up
In London, New York and Tokyo, the Levi’s® brand recently introduced its 2013 Spring & Summer line to fashion editors from around the world.
The London press preview took place at the Farmiloe, a beautiful industrialized building in Central London. Artistic, curated vignettes brought each product story to life in a unique way and featured Levi's® Red Tab, Made & Crafted and Levi's® Vintage Clothing collections.
No matter what the New Year brings, it’s always nice to have something beautiful to anticipate.
