Levi’s Red, the premium jeans' collection of Levi’s born in 1999, is back. In its first edition, it took classic elements of Levi's jeans and rethought them in an avant-garde, more modern interpretation. Similarly, also the new s/s 2022 version of Levi’s Red, has furthermore taken inspiration from the original 2007 collection, reinterpreting not only the classic Levi's, but very specifically the classic Levi's Red.
Artful irregularieties
As in 2007, the collection features a mix of artful irregularities like, for instance, asymmetrical bottom details on the back pockets of the jeans, a special stitching on the fly, irregular back pocket and front pocket openings, slightly offset black belt loops and flattened rivets and tabs. Numerous other classic Levi's Red elements are used, but for this collection they complement contemporary, more modern fits and silhouettes and the overall look that results is the ideal embodiment of the Red ethos of "perfect imperfection”.

The s/s 2022 collection also offers the Lunar New Year Special Edition Gold Selvedge Jeans for men and women, made of selvedge denim and adorned with gold selvedge stitching. Another feature is the use of a natural indigo dye from the woad plant. This is a cleaner version of indigo that uses less water and chemicals and is characterized by a lighter indigo hue.
