Following the success of their inaugural collaboration, the Levi\u2019s\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0brand and avant-garde London-based designer Kiko Kostadinov return with a second collection \u2013 a five-piece women\u2019s capsule. Designed by sisters Laura and Deanna Fanning under the Kiko Kostadinov studio, the new Levi\u2019s\u00ae<\/sup> x Kiko Kostadinov women\u2019s collection reimagines classic denim silhouettes by looking to the future and the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Drawing inspiration from the romance of vintage world postal stamps, the collection features original artwork that celebrates the beauty of a bygone form of communication. In a charming Easter egg detail that speaks to the personal nature of correspondence, the designers have playfully included their dog Dante within one of the stamp designs, adding an intimate touch to the global theme.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The standout Levi\u2019s\u00ae<\/sup> x Kiko Kostadinov Carina Waisted Jacket features the intricate postal stamp print across light wash indigo non-stretch denim. Back elbow darts add sculptural volume to the sleeves, while stainless steel zippers and snap closures provide industrial functionality. A godet detail at the zipper cuff adds technical precision, and the piece comes complete with a coordinating belt. For a more minimalist look, the light indigo wash variations maintains the same sophisticated construction \u2013 back elbow darts for sleeve volume, stainless steel hardware, and godet cuff details \u2013 but is presented in light indigo with specific tinted placements that create subtle variations across the non-stretch denim canvas.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Additional details include double side pocket entries, two center front snaps at the waistband, an exposed rivet at the bottom fly, one back pocket with zipper closure, and trapunto stitching at the back waistband \u2013 ensuring each garment is unique.
