American denim collides with cutting-edge design with Levi's latest collaboration with designer, Kiko Kostadinov. Known for his forward-thinking deconstructionist designs, Kostadinov brings renewed energy and excitement to heritage denim in an accessible and wearable collection.
Menswear: Engineered for the Future
Drawing inspiration from Levi's Engineered Jeans of the '90s, Kostadinov presents designs with his distinctive and unfettered approach, mixing, repurposing and deconstructing wardrobe staples. Diamond inserts inspired by traditional Bulgarian motifs are strategically placed at the knees and elbows. Beyond aesthetics, these inserts serve as ventilation points, intertwining form with function- a Kostadinov hallmark. Another design: a hybrid jersey that's part cardigan, part western-shirt. With an asymmetric front opening and meticulous top stitching, it's a piece that commands attention.
Womenswear: A Feminine Twist on Denim Classics
Laura and Deanna Fanning, the creative forces behind Kostadinov's womenswear, reimagine the Levi's woman with nostalgia and futurism. The three-piece denim suit gets a feminine makeover, while umber-washed denim, fuzzy textures, and irregular stripes come together in style. The relaxed-fit jeans are complemented by a denim jacket that's more than meets the eye—featuring a shaped sleeve and a darted waist-cinching gilet overlay.
The Global Release
The collection dropped worldwide on August 22nd on Levi.com, the Levi's App, or in select Levi's Stores. There you will have the chance to own a piece of fashion history. Additionally, Kiko Kostadinov Tokyo and kikokostadinov.com will also be stocking this coveted collection.
The Levi's x Kiko Kostadinov collaboration invokes the power of thoughtful design and heritage quality craftsmanship.
