The latest Levi’s x Undercover collaboration brings a striking collection of denim and streetwear to life, blending heritage craftsmanship with subversive design elements. Dropping worldwide on January 18 in select Levi’s and Undercover locations and online, the nine-piece collection celebrates the 35th anniversary of Jun Takahashi’s renowned Undercover label.
Takahashi, known for merging streetwear with high fashion, infuses his signature touch into this collection. Key pieces include denim and corduroy trucker jackets, five-pocket jeans, and T-shirts adorned with embroidered nail motifs, zigzag stitching, and enigmatic peering-eye prints. Highlights like zip-off details and spiky seam accents allow wearers to customize their look, while slogans like 'Light, Darkness' add a provocative edge.
Modeled by Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and photographed by his daughter Clara Balzary near their Malibu home, the campaign captures the rebellious spirit of this collaboration. This fusion of artistry and functionality redefines modern denim.
