Just announced is a collaboration between art world heavyweight Shepard Fairey and Levi’s. This collaboration is set to produce a small capsule collection which includes denim, shirts and graphic t-shirts.

Interestingly, each piece in the collection has been [hand customized with original artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keith-haring-x-albino-preto) that was specifically created for this project. The Sheppard Fairey and Levi’s collection will be released on October 29th, and only a handful of stores will get the entire collection. We'll be sure to post more images as soon as they are released!
