The quintessential French designer falls hard for the quintessential American brand and – ta-dah! – a collaboration is born. As part of the Maison Jean Paul Gaultier S/S 2010 menswear collection, the man we call JPG has reconstructed four Levi’s® 501® jeans and one jacket, emphasising the brand’s authenticity while implementing his own creative touches. Look up these pieces for a vision of rigid denim, adorned with maritime stripes, cut-outs and straps.

The collection is priced from $299.90 and is available at all Levi’s stores.
