Scenes From An Epidemic
Here’s the scene: A soccer camp for the children of Levi’s employees in South Africa. In addition to sharpening their skills, the kids also learn about HIV/AIDS. Judging from the questions they ask, it’s clear the kids don’t discuss this issue with their parents or teachers. It’s good they had this opportunity.
Another scene: An HIV/AIDS training session for Levi’s retail employees in South Africa. A counselor offers an HIV test to anyone interested. Several of the female team members agreed. None of the guys did. Still, the offer stands.

Wear the Pants. Help a Kid.
If you’re doing some holiday shopping today, here’s a great way to make your dollars do more: For every pair of khakis purchased, Dockers® will donate a pair to Boys Hope Girls Hope.
Shame on me for not alerting you earlier to this great offer, but I just found out about it myself.
Boys Hope Girls Hope is a non-profit, residential program with locations in the U.S., Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru.
What do they do? In their words...

What's Next? And After That?
Have you perfected the 140-character tweet yet? How about the settings on your Facebook account?
You know it’s not going to stop, right?
When it comes to technology and social media and new media, there’s always something new just around the corner. It’s called innovation.
And it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Levi’s® brand is right there, on the frontier.

Prince William – A Levi’s® Guy?
To hear him tell it, Prince William is a Levi’s guy.
But his new fiancée, Kate Middleton, says that wasn’t the prince’s picture on her wall at Scotland’s University of St. Andrews. It was the Levi’s® guy!
In a televised interview that came on the heels of news that he had proposed and Kate Middleton had accepted, the couple covered a number of topics: where he proposed, how her family responded and, of course, how many kids they’re planning, to mention a few.

The Mayor, The Governor & Green Jobs
California’s economic future is one of green jobs and clean energy. That’s why the recent efforts to repeal or delay AB 32, California’s landmark and clean energy law, would have been an economic and environmental policy disaster.

Down Goes the Scooter
I was riding my scooter down Pearl Street in Boulder, Colo. when an SUV turned left in front of me. I had to lay the scooter down and slid for about 20-30 meters before stopping just before the car.

Pants Without Borders?
Say, you run a business that involves moving goods – clothes, perhaps – from one country to another. And say, the various countries your goods pass through impose tariffs that keep changing, making it difficult for you to keep track.
Are you paying too much? Too little?

In New York tonight, the fashion elite gathered at the Waldorf-Astoria to honor the best of the best of the year. The occasion? The 2010 WGSN Global Fashion Awards.
And we’re proud to say that Levi’s was not only one of the nominees, it was a winner!
The Levi’s brand London flagship was one of six retail apparel newcomers vying for the top title in the Outstanding New Store category. And it was up against some stiff competition.

Spring Forecast: Fresh, Wearable, On Trend
If you passed by 18 Wooster St. in New York last Thursday, you might have caught a glimpse of the future – as envisioned by the Levi’s® brand design team.
The brand took over the Levi’s® Photography Workshop for the night to host its spring 2011 press preview. On hand were invited editors, bloggers and stylists – 350 in all – to see first what’ll soon be seen in stores and, of course, on the streets around the world.
This wasn’t your father’s fashion preview.
