Using the theme of a romantic spring night, the talented Levi’s® creative team curated pieces from the men’s and women’s collection to form vignette experiences evoking a day at the park, a row-boat on a lake and a bike ride on the street.

Benefit Braddock
Odds are, you know about Braddock, the former steel town outside Pittsburgh that has seen better days.In part because of its mayor, John Fetterman, and a number of other dedicated individuals, Braddock has made something of a comeback. But there’s still much to be done – to fix what’s broken.The Levi’s® brand decided music might help.

The Amazingly Creative Sagmeister
One of the best parts of my work is interacting with amazingly creative people – at Levi’s® and beyond.In the “beyond” category, Stefan Sagmeister is up at the top. The Austrian-born artist is one of the most original graphic designers of his generation. And over the past several years, we’ve been lucky enough to work with Stefan on several projects.

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.
