A Look at the Damien Hirst x Levi's 501 From 2008

Highsnobiety recently visited the Levi’s headquarters in San Francisco and took a look around its archive of legendary and iconic denim pieces. Amongst the awe-inspiring collection were a pair of jeans customized by British artist Damien Hirst in his trademark Spin technique. Whilst the final collection – created in collaboration with the American institution, differed slightly from this original vibrant design – this find provides a unique insight into a moment in the artist’s career when he was refining something that would later become synonymous with his output, and immortalizes it in denim.
