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.

Looking Back, Pt. 2
As we speed toward 2013, it’s hard not to glance at the rearview mirror to see what we’re leaving behind – in our personal lives, professionally and in the world around us.
In this post, we take a quick look back at some highlights from Levi Strauss & Co., as captured in the second half of 2012 on LS&Co. Unzipped. (We looked at the first half in our previous post.)

Looking Back, Pt. 1
Since we survived the much-talked-about “end of the world” on December 21, it seems only right to look back at the year that was. After all, it could’ve been our final one, right? Today, some highlights from LS&Co. Unzipped during the first half of 2012.
In January, we called attention to new Dockers® front man Bear Grylls. His personal story of tragedy and triumph is inspiring, to say the least.

Happy Holidays
Given the news we see every day – from places like Syria and Newtown and beyond – it’s easy to lose sight of the happiness that’s supposed to accompany the holiday season.
Here’s a simple wish: I hope that you have an opportunity in the days ahead to reflect on all that’s right in the world and in your own life. And I hope it gives you reason to smile.
Peace.

Justice Can't Wait
Too often, in every corner of the globe, suspects are treated as convicts the minute they enter the criminal justice system. Whether detainees are tortured and coerced to “confess,” or find themselves unjustly excluded from legal representation — they are, in essence, “guilty until proven innocent.”
To help preserve human dignity in these settings, the Levi Strauss Foundation and International Bridges to Justice (IBJ) are supporting pioneering legal advocates from all over the world through the JusticeMakers annual competition.

"I Didn't Know How Bad My Style Was"
When he left a previous job, a co-worker gave writer Mickey Rapkin a going-away gift -- some new t-shirts. She said, "you can't wear dirty t-shirts anymore."
That was the push -- shove? -- that prompted Mickey to finally pay attention to the way he dressed.
"I didn't know how bad my style was," he admits.
Mickey is a guy who has realized that style matters. Dockers® introduces us to six of them in a series of videos, Men of Style.

Working On It -- Climate Change
Over the next few decades, the Middle East and North Africa will experience less rainfall and more extreme temperatures, according to a recent report by the World Bank.
Climate change isn’t a debate. It’s a reality, and for the Middle East that reality means preparing for a future that may include an increasing scarcity of food and water. And that’s just one region of the world.
