WHO DECIDES WAR x Levi's is a Breath of Fresh Air
The two co-creators are known for pushing the boundaries, but this collection went one step further by completely defying the brand’s normative prints, textiles, and themes. Paying homage to both of their Caribbean backgrounds, while also aptly emphasizing the need to protect fragile coastal environments, the collection was rife with lush, airbrushed prints and fluorescent tones. The brand’s signature embroidered denim usually displays intricate stained glass motifs and Biblical references, but this time around, Ev joined forces with Levi’s to incorporate a new spin on beloved WDW classics.
Ev and Levi’s were able to create five exclusive denim pieces that represent the continual, ever-evolving narrative of the brand and the whimsical, yet intentionally layered, meaning behind the SS23 collection. Levi’s ethos was pointedly woven in as well, as each piece is made from upcycled Levi’s denim. The capsule includes two trucker hats and three pairs of 501 jeans like you’ve never seen them before.
Each reworked garment will launch September 23 on NTWRK, and all proceeds will go toward the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice. “We wanted to design from a place where we were looking into ourselves, but also touch on issues in subtle ways,” Ev reflected.
You’ve never seen denim look so good. Check out the capsule, instilled with all the tropical vibes, below.
