The limited edition Levi’s x Damien Hirst collection will be getting into stores this Fall.Combining a fascination by the artist of skulls and denim, he has combines the two elements and we give you a first look at what there is to come. 
"Hirst worked closely on the project with designer Adrian Nyman, who previously made a collection of Levi’s imprinted with Andy Warhol’s art. The current Fall 08 line focuses on three common themes from only Hirst’s work—skulls, spots and tropical butterflies. The images are emblazoned on black and blue jeans, as well as white, black and purple t-shirts. Some of the skull images feature the splattered paint of his "spin paintings" and one shirt has the black and white portrait of the artist and a skull. The line is rounded out with a signature denim and leather jacket." Via Coolhunting.
The Levi’s x Damien Hirst line will be hitting stores like Barney’s New York, Fred Segal and Union (NYC) in mid-September.

The new Levi’s Vintage Fall/Winter 2008 collection has landed at Manchester’s Oi Polloi and we love what we are seeing. We cannot recall the last time we were as excited about a Levi’s Vintage collection.

The new collection presents not only Vintage 505’s and 501’s, but presents some nice quality clothing pieces. Our favorites are the check and wool shirts and especially the 1923 Mackinaw Coat and 1912 Sweater Coat. Great details on all pieces, premium materials make this a strong collection.

Last week saw the opening of the new 14 oz. store in Berlin. Right in the heart ofBerlin Mitte, close to other favorites of ours such as A.P.C., Nort and Firmament, the new store opened. 
14 oz. already existed in Cologne from 1999-2003 and then the founder moved on to start the Bread & Butter tradeshow. Now he has decided to re-open it, but in Berlin. 14 oz. as you might have guessed by the name already, specializes in denim and carries brands such as Earnest Sewn, Atelier LaDurance, Levi’s, Wrangler and many others. They also carry other great brands including Dunderdon and Steven Alan.
Bottom line, it is definitely worth a visit on your next Berlin trip.
14 oz.
