Inspired?
The inspiration for Levi's® Spring 2012 collection was the small California coastal community of Sea Ranch.Ever been there?Beautiful and somewhat isolated, about a hundred miles north of San Francisco, Sea Ranch is a quiet mixture of ocean spray, native flora and only about 1,300 permanent residents. It's a favorite Bay Area escape-to-nature.So ... what did the Levi's® designers do with this inspiration?

Downey Down Under, With Denim
Have you ever had the experience of going to a foreign country and once you hit the streets you suddenly felt absolutely at home? That was my experience on a recent trip to Australia.I've just returned from Down Under. My traveling partners? Four pairs of vintage Levi’s® jeans: the XX, the 501® jean from 1879, also called The World’s Oldest Pair of Jeans; the Nevada, found in a dusty mining town; Lady Levi’s® jeans worn at an Arizona dude ranch in the 1930s; and a fun pair of girl’s striped flares from 1969.

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.

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.
