Levi's and Warhol Collaboration


Even in a season of unusual fashion collaborations, a venture involving Levi's jeans and Andy Warhol stands out.

But on reflection, there's a certain logic to Warhol Factory X Levi's, a partnership between the venerable denim line and the late pop artist's foundation. "Andy only wore Levi's while he was working, and they were kind of the artist's jean of that time," brand rep Amy Gemellaro points out. "The line really represents the best of both of us."

The collection, which debuts early next year, features hand-painted jackets, cashmere tees, and, of course, jeans, all emblazoned with memorable Warhol images, including his famous Marilyn Monroe portrait.

They're an artful way to differentiate yourself in a sea of indistinguishable blue—and a fitting tribute to the man who once said, "Fashion wasn't what you wore someplace anymore, it was the whole reason for going."
