Music-Making Moves
This is pretty cool. Japanese electronic engineer and DJ Daito Manabe has found a way to turn body movement into music.To do this, Daito uses electronic sensors and music software that he programmed himself. In this video, he and his friends manipulate and create music simply by moving their bodies and dancing. The music results from each dancer's style and movement, making it unique.The clothes are from the Denizen™ brand, which worked with Daito in Japan to create this video.

A Blank, Black Canvas
If you use clothing to display your personal attitude and individuality, Levi’s® has just provided a blank, black canvas.That’s the idea behind Levi’s® Monochrome Capsule collection, which focuses on clean simple styles and a dark color palette that includes Black Point, Slam Grey and Petrol Blue. The monochromatic theme is carried out with tone-on-tone stitching, and the zipper, leather patch and metal buttons are all black.

Go Team! Go Levi's® Curve ID!
Levi’s® jeans have long been part of the standard uniform at college campuses around the world. Now, there’s even more of a reason for college women to pull on a pair of Levi’s jeans – Levi’s® Curve ID, with a fit based on shape, not size.And the Levi’s® team is currently taking that message to college campuses across the United States – bringing with them the “Mirror, Mirror … What’s My Curve ID?” studio.

More Jeans. Less Water.
I've always believed that businesses not only have the ability to change the world -- they have a duty to do so.It's this belief that has led me through my career. And to Levi's. To change things.Let me give you an example.Last year, we announced the Levi’s® Water<Less™ collection – denim finished in a way that uses significantly less water. Up to 96 percent less for some products.

Handmade Hope in Guatemala...and at Levi's®
The people – that’s what inspired me most when I first lived in Guatemala as a college student.The strength, determination, and spirit of Guatemala’s indigenous people, despite the unspeakable hardships they had endured and the battles they are still fighting today: poverty, discrimination, illiteracy, and malnutrition.The indigenous people of Guatemala completely captured my heart. I felt an obligation to partner with them and to be part of a solution: to connect them to the resources and markets they needed to build a better future.

The Blind Barber Wears the Pants
If you’re this side of cool, you’ve probably heard of the Blind Barber. In New York’s East Village, it’s a place where you can get a $40 haircut or a $30 shave, accompanied by a drink.A bar with barbers. But we’re assured that the barbers themselves aren’t imbibing on the job. As co-owner Josh Boyd told the New York Times, “Barbers, razors, scissors and booze,” he said, “no.”

Dressing Smart – On the Job and on the Town.
My love for fashion and design started at a young age when my mom taught me how to sew. Growing up, and even throughout college while I studied neuroscience, I knew I needed an outlet to express my creativity. At the time, I didn’t have a TV, so the sewing machine and stereo became the faithful companions to my design and clothes-making. I created my own tube tops and stretch cropped pants using fabric from the store across the street, and even once made a cocktail dress out of cocktail napkins!
