The new collaboration between Levi&#39;s and sacai reinvents denim with boldness and sophistication.

When two worlds collide, when the tradition of American denim marries the Japanese avant-garde , a rare collection is born, where classic silhouettes are transformed under a resolutely contemporary eye. This is what the latest collaboration between <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/industry-trends/beyonce-et-levi-s-reinventent-une-pub-culte-avec-le-troisieme-chapitre-reiimagine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Levi’s</a> and the fashion house <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/fashion-week/chez-sacai-l-art-du-wrapping-entre-force-et-sensualite-chitose-abe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sacai</a> offers: a bold and poetic reinterpretation of the emblematic codes of jeans. Under the direction of sacai founder and creative director Chitose Abe , denim is reinvented in a hybrid aesthetic that combines heritage with experimentation. True to her approach of subtly transforming familiar garments, Abe infuses this collection with a harmonious tension between structure and fluidity, between artisanal rigor and textile inventiveness.

Key pieces for women: between homage and innovation

Three feminine creations stand out as the pillars of this collection. The Levi&#39;s x sacai denim jacket, available in indigo and blue, combines the lines of the Type II and Type III models at the front, with a nod to the Type I at the back, notably thanks to the classic tightening buckle. Its loose, slightly flared cut is accompanied by neat interior finishes—bound seams, structuring gussets—that sculpt the silhouette. Another standout piece is the Levi&#39;s x sacai Denim x Matelassé Twill jacket, where denim meets sacai&#39;s signature quilting, revealing hidden jacket details inside, like a stylistic second skin. Finally, the Levi&#39;s x sacai jumpsuit stands out with relaxed elegance: a dungaree-style bodice, thin straps, flared legs, and a subtle combination of lightweight denim and five-pocket construction.

For men: graphic simplicity at the service of detail

On the menswear side, the collection maintains this fusion approach, but in a more streamlined version. The denim jacket adopts feminine codes while adopting a more direct look, with gold buttons inspired by Levi&#39;s vintage archives. The Levi&#39;s x sacai Denim x Matelassé Twill reversible jacket embodies the spirit of the collection: a structured, classic side that turns inside out to reveal a Type II jacket with an intricate design, highlighted by premium finishes — gray felt under the collar, selvedge trims, sacai&#39;s iconic anchor buttons. Available in two color combinations—indigo and black, or blue and khaki—the jacket features a host of unique details: zippered pockets, exclusive materials, and a design that defies the conventions of menswear.

Unisex as a universal field of expression

The collection concludes on a unisex note with ultra-wide, mid-rise denim pants with a surprising seven-pocket construction. These jeans reinvent functionality with the added bonus of a reversible waistband—denim on one side, grosgrain on the other—branded with the Levi&#39;s x sacai logo.

A campaign marked by freedom and a certain gentle rebellion

To accompany this collection, a visual campaign inspired by the spirit of James Dean celebrates the values of curiosity, freedom, and sincerity. Photographed by Craig McDean , the series features actress Chase Sui Wonders and model Chandler Frye in a rebellious yet refined aesthetic, faithfully reflecting the essence of both brands. Thus, the Levi&#39;s x sacai collaboration doesn&#39;t just revisit denim: it transcends it. At the crossroads of cultures and expertise, this collection embodies a timeless modernity, where each piece tells a story of heritage, metamorphosis, and creative boldness.

The Levi&#39;s x sacai collection will be available at exclusive pop-ups at Selfridges on May 26, at Landmark Hong Long on May 27, and worldwide from May 28 on <a href="https://www.levi.com/FR/fr_FR/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">levi.com</a> , the Levi&#39;s app, select Levi&#39;s flagship stores, and select sacai outlets.
