The last episode of our Levi’s® x HYPEBEAST Railside Conversations is a pairing of two individuals with a penchant for creating context to classics of the past. Levi’s® Global Creative Director Len Peltier, a man entrenched in working modernity into a brand with great heritage joins forces with New York-based photographer William Yan who has quietly plied at his trade with an unrelenting and purposeful approach. Spanning different backgrounds and generations, both William and Len engage in a dialog that looks into our current society submerged into social media, what it entails, and their goals and aspirations along the way.

Station to Station, a public art project made possible by Levi’s®, spanned the month of September across the United States. Setting forth as an initiative to help push the boundaries of creativity and discovery through various pillars of culture including music, art, food and film, the project itself was manifested via a physical train that traversed from East out to West, and ended in late September, in Oakland, California. Join the public art project at levi.com/makeourmark.
