Debuting the latest instalment of their collaborative series, denim giant Levi’s and fellow American label Denim Tears recently unveiled ‘Season 2’ of their ongoing series for your consideration.
Arriving just in time for the mid-summer period, the duo build on their now two-year solid partnership with a conceptual offering that has Denim Tears founder Tremaine Emory’s hands all over it. Reimagining icons such as the 501 jeans as well as shirt jackets, hats, totes and more, the release perpetuates Emory’s penchant for highlighting the world’s troubled past with dye-dipped handprints all over the collection’s white denim, referencing the hands of the enslaved Gullah Geechee people who had a rich history involving indigo-dyed fabric. Speaking on the release, Tremaine commented:
“I’ve recontextualized the DNA of the Gullah Geechee. The resulting body of work is a palpable alliance centred on the ability to embrace one community’s respective culture, history, and experience. The indigo hands assemble an eclectic talisman for the endurance of the Gullah Geechee slaves. They symbolize a new blueprint for America.”
Check out some shots of the new release below and shop your favourites via the brand’s website now, and Levi’s website starting from tomorrow, the 28th of July.
