Intersection of Art and Workwear
Levi’s and London-based conceptual designer Kiko Kostadinov are back, following up a highly successful debut with a second menswear drop that meticulously re-examines classic workwear archetypes. This five-piece capsule is an exercise in elevated utilitarianism, blending the foundational heritage of Levi’s denim with Kostadinov’s rigorous, experimental design philosophy. The collaboration moves beyond simple co-branding, positioning itself as a thought experiment in fabric and form, notably drawing inspiration from the cultural history of denim and its presence within the 20th-century American art scene, a collision of high-brow concept and manual labor’s essential material.
The collection introduces a refined take on essential silhouettes. Core pieces, such as the Levi’s Trucker jacket and standard workwear jeans, are dramatically reimagined through Kostadinov’s contemporary lens. Highlights include the Articulate Jacket in indigo denim, featuring detailed stitching and updated construction, paired with matching relaxed-fit jeans that redefine the vintage aesthetic. The drop further expands into structured tailoring with the Andy Suit Jacket and Trousers, which offer a sleek, modern update to the traditional tuxedo via satin accents and precise detailing.
