A handful of China’s most creative artists, fashion editors, musicians, and photographers, came together recently to celebrate the world’s original jean – Levi’s 501. This video is their tribute to our iconic fit.
Patented on May 20th, 1873 by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis, the blue jean celebrates its 140th birthday this year. Levi’s fans around the world are helping us mark the occasion by showing us their interpretations: http://www.levis501.com.
