Levi’s® x sacai – Limited Edition Collaboration
Levi’s® and Japanese fashion house sacai deliver a groundbreaking collection. reimagining Levi’s® iconic silhouettes through sacai’s distinctive lens of hybridization and experimental design.
While embracing sacai designer and creative director Chitose Abe’s visionary approach to transforming familiar garments into unexpected new forms, the new Levi’s® x sacai collection celebrates the heritage of Levi’s® denim craftsmanship.
The Levi’s® x sacai collection features three women’s standout pieces.
The Levi’s® x sacai Denim Jacket presents a masterful fusion of Levi’s® Type Il and Type Ill designs on the front with a Type I-inspired back featuring the classic cinch. Available in both indigo and blue, the jacket boasts a boxy, slightly A-line silhouette with meticulous interior details, including bound seams and gussets that maintain its sculptural shape.
This collection also introduces a sophisticated Levi’s® x sacai Denim x Matelasse Twill Jacket featuring sacai’s proprietary matelasse twill with jacket detailing on the interior as well as a statement Levi’s® x sacai Jumpsuit with a bib-style top, camisole straps, and wide flare legs that combine 5-pocket detailing with lightweight denim paneling for elegant drape.
The men’s offerings continue the hybrid aesthetic with a more streamlined approach. Mirroring the women’s conceptual fusion but with a more simplified silhouette, the Levi’s® x sacai Denim Jacket features the same custom sunspot gold shanks based on vintage Levi’s® hardware.
The Levi’s® x sacai Denim x Matelasse Twill Reversible Blouson represents the collection’s versatile spirit – a tailored exterior that reverses to reveal jacket detailing, complete with exposed selvedge along the placket, premium gray felt under the collar, and sacai’s distinctive anchor buttons.
Two variations of the Reversible Blouson – available in indigo x black or blue x khaki nylon exteriors – feature sacai’s proprietary materials and unique details, including sleeve pockets and specialized zippers. Each blouson reverses to reveal a Type Il Jacket detailed with center front pleats and chest pockets, finished with sacai ribbing at the cuffs and hem.
Unisex styles round out the collection with pieces designed for universal appeal. Bringing the collection home, the Levi’s® x sacai Denim Pants offers an ultra-wide, baggy jean with a mid-rise fit and innovative 7-pocket construction. Adding welt pockets atop the traditional back pockets, the jeans come with a co-branded reversible belt with denim on one side and grosgrain on the other.
The collection’s accompanying campaign draws inspiration from James Dean’s iconic spirit of curiosity, honesty, freedom, and innocent naivety – which also served as the starting point for sacai Men’s Spring & Summer 2025 collection.
Women’s Spring 2025 Collection. Featuring actress and model Chase Sui Wonders, alongside model Chandler Frye, these timeless qualities serve as the creative foundation for Chitose Abe’s signature re-mixing approach throughout the collection. The imagery, shot by photographer Craig McDean and styled by Karl Templer, captures the rebellious yet refined essence of both brands’ DNA.
The Levi’s® x sacai collection is now available online at Levi.com and sacai, as well as at Saks Fifth Avenue,
