This season Levi’s® Imagines a Russian Rodeo for the Spring/Summer 2019 Collection.
Named “Russian Rodeo,” this season’s collection combines the beauty and opulence of Russian architecture and clothing with the tradition and heritage of the American West. The result is a lineup full of intricate embroidery, fringe detailing, and eye-catching Old West-style patterns. There is also a mix of Soviet-era styling, including 1990s colour-blocking.
The collection was partly inspired by Moscow’s eclectic mix of blocky Soviet-era buildings and ornate, centuries old architecture. But it was also inspired by a more surprising influence—the Russian rodeo. To capture this aesthetic, Levi’s® Made & Crafted® Spring/Summer 2019 collection relies on a blend of colour blocking from contemporary Russian street style and American Western embellishments. There’s fringe detail, cowboy boot stitching and classic Western pieces like Trucker jackets and jeans, with street style-inspired shrunken or oversized silhouettes.
Colour-wise, the collection is grounded in shades of white, black, and indigo with occasional pops of red. There is also an exploration of textural fabrics and contrast color accents that feature a range of playful stitch work and laser patterns. Seasonal denim finishing ranges from flat stonewashes to futuristic twists on classic cowboy heritage of Levi’s®.
“Moscow has interesting hits of opulence and beauty throughout unexpected places, like chandeliers on the subway. So we wanted to celebrate that Russian heritage, and then mix it all with rodeo cowboy heritage, which is something that Levi’s® is so well known for.”—Nick Rendic, Global Design Director, Levi’s® Made & Crafted®.
The Levi’s® Made & Crafted® Collection is now available at the following Levi’s® retail stores: Canal Walk, Cavendish, Menlyn, Sandton and V&A Waterfront (re-opening in September).
