Levi’s and Atelier Reservé collaborated for the second time to create a limited-edition, gender-neutral capsule collection that contains 100% upcycled pieces. This collection was created specifically to speak to “free spirits who resist conformity and set their own fashion rules." These pieces of apparel are particularly special since each and every one is made by hand in Atelier Reservé's workshop.
The collection promises to resonate with Gen Z, and Anit Van Eynde, vice president of marketing Levi’s North Europe, notes: "Traditional gender-based shopping and dressing rules are being challenged, especially by younger consumers. More and more people are shopping according to their true personal style and preferences rather than what is predetermined for ‘her’ or ‘him.'" With this capsule collection, Levi's is deconstructing traditionally gender-specific items and redefining their entire essence.
