1. The New Levi’s RED Collection

This Lunar New Year, Levi’s wants you to ignite your pioneering spirit. Search for your ‘perfect imperfection’ with the new Levi’s RED collection! , Levi’s RED was a collection designed to take classic elements of Levi’s denim. It was meant to be re-imagined in a more fashion-forward, modern-day interpretation. And while that remains true for the new Spring/Summer 2022 version of Levi’s RED, this season also takes inspiration from the original 2007 collection. This makes it not only a reinterpretation of classic Levi’s but a sustainable reengineering of the classic Levi’s RED. The new Levi’s RED collection features a range of denims, graphic tees, jackets, shirts, and more.
