This year, Levi’s launched a series of new projects and creative partnerships revolving around the ‘labour’ theme as part of its campaign dubbed “We Are All Workers,” which was kicked off in early summer. Some of these initiatives—like opening printmaking shops—were new, and some emerged from the previous programs. The annual «Billy Reid Shindig» celebration, which was held in early June in Alabama, belongs to the second category.
Levi’s
Remember the viral video “Guy Walks across America” shot for Levi’s? Being the internet hit this summer, it inspired the brand to develop a big-budget and educational project, revolving around the same idea—travelling. Levi’s announces the premiere of “Norte a Sur: Una Ruta, 5 Experiencias,” a new TV series chronicling the journey of five American Latinos along the Pan-American Highway. The show airs on Discovery en Español Saturdays, from September 25 through November 27.
For some women shopping may become a real trouble when it comes to buying jeans—this piece of clothes usually doesn’t hug the waist, hips and bottom as perfectly as it should. Even if you manage to find the right pair that isn’t pulling or gaping, it might take you hours of wandering around the mall. Levi’s found a solution to the first problem by creating the Curve ID line especially for ladies, and eliminates the second one with the launch of a digital fitting room, which is available to internet-savvy consumers in 50 countries and in 20 languages.
In the full swing of its “We Are All Workers” campaign, launched this summer, Levi’s took up its much older initiative, Red for Life, and kicked off a series of concerts for women. The jeanswear brand teamed up with top female performers to launch Divas Rock, a concert tour across South Africa, aimed at raising awareness of HIV/AIDS and helping make positive changes in the communities through non-pressing education.
Following Target’s example, Levi’s is putting models wearing its Curve ID jeans collection in the windows of a high rise building to promote this new range in Japan. The new system of jeans, developed by Levi’s, focuses on shape, not size, thus enabling female consumers select exactly what will be fitting their curved (or not very curved) bodies.
Eco Index to Help Measure Environmental Footprint of Global Brands Including Levi’s, Nike and Adidas
Now we are all witnessing the era of switching to green concepts, and most of the global brands are trying hard to change out life for better by introducing new approaches to making industries more eco-friendly . This dedication became the basis for the Eco Index, launched earlier this month and described as a “ground-breaking environmental assessment tool designed to advance sustainability practices within the outdoor industry.”
Levi’s isn’t only focused on selling the jeans—the brand is also concerned about its after-shop live, the way they will be washed and dried. To make the cleaning process as green as possible, on the first day of summer the brand teamed up with Myoo Create to launch its “Care to Air” contest, encouraging creative minds to try and find the most sustainable air-drying solution for clothing. Now Levi’s is here to announce the winners of the competition, who introduced the most stylish and effective methods.
