Levi's premium offerings – LMC and LVC
An all-time favourite! Levi’s has just dropped an all-new Levi’s Made & Crafted and Levis Vintage Collection - and we are here for it. The LMC takes on the classic Levi’s, reimagined in a progressive way. This season, the LMC collection shows off their sustainability mindset with Tencel x Refibra and cottonised hemp. Inspired by the style of the ‘70s après ski wear with bold proportions with colour and texture for a lineup that is at once nostalgic, contemporary and true to Levi’s roots. Levi’s Vintage Collection reproduces the fits, fabrics and details of past eras. With their own archive of 20,000 vintage pieces, the design team pores through them for repurposed inspiration. This season, LVC serves as an ode to all things underground, featuring looks inspired by the Louisville punk scene. I’m itching to get my hands on these beautiful pieces!

A large-scale digital light wall on Quay Street provides us with a unique place for public art! The Lightship is a 110-metre-long, 13-metre-high light wall that wraps around the western façade of the port’s new car handling building. Made up of seven panels with nearly 8,500 LED lights. The inaugural commission is a new work by Janet Lilo’s ISLOVE and will be live until the first week of December 2020! Lilo says, “Created for a future for a defined by the current global pandemic, BLM, social and political upheavals, and great loss, ISLOVE refocuses Auckland’s harbour as a place of connection and light.” The Lightship sits near “The Lighthouse” by Michael Parekowhai on Queens Wharf, cementing the area as a destination for contemporary public art.
