Levi’s and ROSÉ teamed on a capsule collection built around two denim silhouettes: a slim zip-up trucker jacket and a loose boot jean, each offered in two washes. The edit features a handwritten back patch reading "Levi Strauss with ROSÉ" as a signature detail applied across the pieces.
The trucker jacket includes a two-way zipper and silver metal hardware, while the collection is complemented by graphics and charms that reference ROSÉ’s motifs. Buyers can customize items with icons such as “The Original Girl,” the song title “number one girl” and the number “11,” plus pins, zipper charms and keychains. The collection is scheduled to appear at pop-ups in Tokyo, Seoul and Beijing and on Japan’s official online store starting September 15.
The blend of a tailored jacket and relaxed boot-leg jean gives wearers mix-and-match styling and collectible appeal. Customizable graphics and hardware turn each piece into a personal statement, reinforcing the collaboration’s ambassador-driven identity.
