Levi’s tapped Hailey Bieber and Jaden Smith for its new collection
Levi’s has tapped two stars at the top of their game, Hailey Bieber and Jaden Smith, for their latest collection. The collection, which debuted on Monday, is Levi’s second partnership with Bieber. Like last year’s campaign, this collection was originally supposed the coincide with Coachella, however the indefinite cancellation of large events like festivals and concerts didn’t hold the brand back. “There may not be any festivals but we’re launching the campaign anyway because we all deserve to dream a little,” said Levi’s CMO Jen Sey. The brand offers an optimistic escape with the collection of denim cutoffs, cubano button downs and peasant blouses that can be purchased online in Canada until we can enjoy live venues together again.
