Levi’s® and UNDERCOVER Celebrate the Japanese Label’s 35th Anniversary with New Collaborative Collection

This year, UNDERCOVER is celebrating its 35th anniversary. After recently surprisingly revealing the label would present a womenswear runway show at Paris Fashion Week in March, the Jun Takahashi-led Japanese label has unveiled another yet big move to celebrate milestone big year: a second dual-minded denim collection in partnership with Levi’s.

To flex the collection rooted in craftsmanship and creativity, the duo tapped Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ Flea – whom both brands believe perfectly embodies the spirit of the garments – to lead the lookbook. The nine-piece range also places heavy emphasis on UNDERCOVER’s archives, referencing releases from the 1990s and 2000s.

A reenvisioning of the Pinnacle Type II Trucker Jacket leads the range, reimagined by Takahashi to reference UNDERCOVER’s Fall/Winter 1998 collection with detachable zip detailing implemented throughout the silhouette.

Down the line, the dark-washed denim delivery taps back into graphics from 2003, imbuing the archival images – such as the “Light Darkness” motif – on the jackets and tees.

Take a closer look at the new Levi’s x UNDERCOVER collection in the Flea-fronted lookbook above, and cop a piece when it drops on worldwide on January 18 on Levi’s webstore and app as well as UNDERCOVER’s webstore.
