After our first teaser of the Obey x Levi’s® line we’re now able to reveal more detailed imagery and information around the capsule collection. In addition to t-shirts (adorned with the OBEY face peeking out of the Levi’s® batwing logo), the line also features two different denim jackets with custom, Fairey-designed artwork lining; one with a black, french terry hood sewn into the collar of the jacket, and the other over-dyed in black. There is also a buffalo plaid flannel woven shirt with drip details throughout and 511 and 514 cut denim with unique detailing. Prices range from $34.50 to $148.00 keeping with Fairey’s “public art” philosophy, making the collection more accessible to a wider audience, while still offering them something special and limited.
To further commemorate the launch of this collection – Fairey is going to be creating a very special public, live art installation on the outside facade of the Levi’s® flagship store in Times Square. This work will be unveiled Thursday, Oct. 29th with the release of the collection.
Additionally, Fairey has developed 4 new pieces inspired by his work with Levi’s®. Museum-quality, poster reproductions of these new works will be given away as a “gift-with-purchase” set with any Obey x Levi’s® style (while supplies last). Immediately after the installation, Fairey will be doing an in-store signing for fans who have collected the poster kits thus far.
