Learning in Levi's®
When I was barely a teenager, I started working on the ranches and in the mountains near Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
I learned to shoe horses, break horses, cut and stack hay, and plant and harvest oat fields.

Breaking the Silence
In order to help end HIV/AIDS among women, we also have to break the silence about violence against women. This is Christine’s philosophy, and it’s what drives this activist to organize group meetings for women affected by HIV/AIDS in her country of Zambia.
All around the world, but particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, violent norms and practices against women put them at a higher risk of contracting HIV. In addition, fear of further abuse or the social stigma surrounding the virus often dissuades women from learning their HIV status — or from sharing it with partners and families.

Looking Good, Garbage!
The jeans and jacket you see here have something in common with that plastic bottle in your hand.
What is it? That plastic bottle in your hand.
Today, the Levi's® brand launches its new Waste<Less™ denim collection.

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.
