This January, two iconic names in fashion, Levi’s® and UNDERCOVER, join forces once again to present a dynamic collection celebrating the 35th anniversary of Jun Takahashi’s trailblazing Japanese brand. Known for blending streetwear, high fashion, and subversive design elements, UNDERCOVER redefines cultural boundaries.
This second collaboration with Levi’s® seamlessly integrates the creative DNA of both brands, delivering a collection that exudes craftsmanship, innovation, and individuality.
A 9-Piece Collection Rooted In Heritage
The Levi’s® x UNDERCOVER collection pays homage to the rich histories of both brands. Comprising nine carefully crafted pieces, the lineup reimagines Levi’s® iconic designs with UNDERCOVER’s bold, conceptual aesthetic. Each item reflects a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, creating versatile, statement-making wardrobe staples.
Transformable Trucker Jackets
The collection introduces three unique interpretations of Levi’s® legendary Trucker Jacket:
- Pinnacle Type II Trucker Jackets: Featuring detachable zippers on the sleeves, collar, and side seams, these jackets enable wearers to customize their look—an homage to UNDERCOVER’s 1998 “Exchange” program. Available in indigo selvedge denim and black corduroy, these jackets are finished with co-branded jacron patches and UNDERCOVER’s signature ‘Small Parts’ neck label.
- Type I Trucker Jacket: Made from black and white 12 oz. denim, it features intricate ‘Giza’ embroidery on the sleeves and hem, inspired by UNDERCOVER’s archival 2003 graphics.
- Type III Trucker Jacket: This piece incorporates yin-yang-inspired designs, showcasing embroidered ‘light’ and ‘darkness’ motifs on the chest, as well as screen-printed and embroidered graphics on the back.
Denim with Distinctive Design
Accompanying the jackets are two expertly crafted pairs of denim:
- 501® Jean: Staying true to its timeless silhouette, it features the ‘Giza’ embroidery along the side seams, matching the Type I Trucker Jacket.
- Baggy Jean: This relaxed-fit piece is adorned with mixed embroidery and screen-printing techniques, reflecting the conceptual artistry of the Type III Trucker Jacket.
Graphic Tees with a Story
The collection also includes three graphic T-shirts made from soft cotton jersey:
- A long-sleeve T-shirt in white, featuring the ‘Giza’ pattern printed on the neck and sleeves.
- Two short-sleeve T-shirts in black and white, combining printed and embroidered graphics.
A Campaign With Creative Soul
The Levi’s® x UNDERCOVER campaign stars Flea, the legendary bassist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Shot by his daughter, Clara Balzary, at his Malibu home, Flea’s unique spirit and raw creativity align perfectly with the collection’s ethos. His dynamic energy and personal style embody the interplay of light and dark explored in this collaboration.
The Levi’s® x UNDERCOVER collection will launch globally on January 18th. In Singapore, it will be available exclusively at Levi’s® ION Orchard and online. This highly anticipated lineup offers a rare opportunity for fans of both brands to own pieces that merge heritage with avant-garde design.
