Levis� Vintage XX First Blue Rigid Jeans

Filed under: Apparel

Styles may come and go but Levi's seem to manage to weather the vicissitudes of trends, falling in and out of fashion but never disappearing. Taking a page from luxury jeansmakers, the original 501s get a boost into the world of premium denim through the use of nine ounce Japanese denim that is hand dyed using methods that recreate the process from the original jeans. The Levis® Vintage XX First Blue Rigid Jeans have the original cinchback style used in 501s and come with a special totebag. They sell for around $570 and will be released at the end of September.

World's Most Expensive Living Artist Turns Jeans Designer

I never know quite what to make of artist Damien Hirst, is he a brilliant commentator on modern life or merely a shameless huckster? Hirst, who recently became the most expensive living artist, delights in controversy. Whether its exhibiting sharks and other animals in formaldehyde, creating a diamond-covered skull, or his many side businesses that include the sales of bracelets and art kits, Hirst is probably the heir to Andy Warhol in the realm of merging art and commerce. That comparison just got a bit more apt, Hirst is now going to be working with Levi-Strauss on a line of luxury jeans under the company's Warhol Factory X Levi's label. The collection will be launched in September during New York Fashion Week with the name Warhol Factory X Levi's X Damien Hirst. Items in the Warhol Factory X Levi collection generally sell for $190-$250 for jeans and $80-$300 for tops.

iPod Jeans from Levis

We knew about the launch of the iPod Jeans from Levi Strauss a few months ago, but thanks to Engadget, we finally know what they look like. The jeans have an iPod docking link attached to a red ribbon wire that is hidden in a side pocket, and a small control unit is built into a higher, hip-height pocket, offering the only real advantage over simply putting your iPod into a pocket of jeans you already own. A retractable - and hopefully detachable - headphone unit is included. Each pair is said to be €199.99 ( $257), but our guess is that you'll have to pay extra for dry cleaning and other special treatment, since these are probably no washing machine friendly.

Levi Strauss Debuts iPod-Compatible Jeans

MacDailyNews is reporting Levi Strauss is launching a wearable technology revolution with the introduction of new Levi's RedWire DLX Jeans. Available this fall, the jeans will be designed for both men and women and integrate iPod plug and play technology. Design features include: Easy Pocket Storage -- An iPod docking cradle is built into the jeans and is "invisibly" housed within a side pocket. "Hip" Controls -- A special joystick remote control is externally designed into the jeans' watch pocket to enable operation of the iPod. Handy Wire Retractor -- A handy retractable headphone unit has been built directly into the jean to help prevent tangles and efficiently manage the iPod earphone wires. Perhaps 2006 will be the "year of wearable technology". We recently featured another wearable item for the iPod, the Tunebuckle.
