Wanda Lephoto, Amy Zama, Mziyanda and More Front Levi’s 501 Campaign

The Levi’s® 501® is one of the most enduring style icons and only gets better with time. Since its creation in 1873, wearers have found countless ways to make the Levi’s® 501® their own – a testament that timelessness and genuine craftsmanship never goes out of style.

On the 501® Original jean’s 150th anniversary, the denim supplier commemorates the invention of this powerful icon with a brand-new campaign titled “501®: The Greatest Story Ever Worn”. The global campaign features modern visionaries, whose stories reflect the spirit of the 501®. Wanda Lephoto, Amy Zama, Mziyanda each pay homage to the jean that started it all, by sharing their personal 501® stories and showing their individual takes on how to style the versatile jean. Dressed in the many iterations of the Levi’s 501®, which includes Mziyanda in a pair of 90s hemmed shorts and rapper Amy Zama in the ‘81 Straight jean, the campaign shows off the adaptability of the 501® jean.
