Who better to celebrate Levi's jeans than, well, NewJeans? It's in the K-pop group's name, which even plays on the timelessness of the denim staple. But NewJeans diehards probably knew that already. 

But yes, the South Korean girl group and our recent cover stars lead yet another Levi's 501 campaign, keeping the celebrations going for the jeans' 150th anniversary.

For their latest Levi's moment, NewJeans naturally gets fitted in customized 501 jeans, speaking to self-expression and creativity. "This campaign encourages us all to express our unique style by showing different ways to wear Levi's 501 and make it your own," New Jeans says to Highsnobiety.

"It is all about individuality and self-expression. We want to celebrate diversity and invite people from all walks of life to join us in the fun."

Indeed. Levi's tailor shops are there for fans' 501 personalization needs. At the shops, customers can add special touches like embroidery (including special artwork by Japanese and Korean tailors), pleats, and other unique trims to a range of 501 pieces, including shorts, '90s jeans, and Original jeans.

"My top two pieces would be the 501® 81 jeans with patches or the 501® shorts with embroidery designs," Minji said to Highsnobiety.

"Both were customized from Levi's Tailor Shop and are unique to our collection. They speak to our style and how we like to mix and match pieces to make our own."

Danielle's favorite Levi's 501 piece, you ask? The 90s jeans with a custom paint design, of course.

"To really make it special and one-of-a-kind, I love to mix the colorful pants with a playful top, so the outfit really stands out," Danielle explains.
