All-American: Born x Raised and Levi’s

June 09, 2023

Hailed as the epitome of classic American style with 150 years of history under their stylish leather belts, any picture of Americana usually includes a pair of Levi’s. But, their latest collaboration with Los Angeles-based brand, Born x Raised, honors Indigeneity, an egregiously overlooked and often ignored part of American culture. Functioning simultaneously as a clothing brand and a cultural memorialization, Born x Raised marries Indigenous heritage and L.A. street style. In their latest collection, founder Spanto honors his late father, Butch, and their Apache and Seneca heritage. The inspiration from the collection comes directly from Butch’s belongings, with iconography that brings Spanto back to family visits to White River, Arizona. Pulling from these images, Spanto created his iconic angel graphic, representing his father watching over him both in life and death.

With this graphic gracing Levi’s staples, such as the 501s, Truckers, and graphic tees, the combination of the globally known and the historically-overlooked is not coincidental. The campaign spans both White River and L.A., featuring both Spanto’s Apache relatives and friends from the city, giving spotlight to both of his homes.
