Lee | A Gallery of 125 Years of Innovation and History

At the entrance, 125 "Buddy Lee" figures, specially created for this exhibition, welcome visitors.
Catering by "Lee BURGER" was served at the opening party.

This year, marking the brand's 125th anniversary, the "101+" collection, named after Lee's iconic "101" line, was unveiled. This premium line embodies the finest materials and perfect fit.
The Fall/Winter 2014-15 collection was also on display.
"Lee by NIGO®" is designed based on rare models from the 1920s-1930s, personally selected by NIGO®, Creative Director, from his extensive Lee collection. It was unveiled and available for pre-sale at the venue.
"Lee BIRTH PROJECT" was launched by Yusuke Iseya, actor and film director, and others. This initiative gives new designs to deadstock or imperfect denim, "reborn" through creative repurposing.
"Lee × Kinuu" is born from reusing fabric scraps, remnants, and waste materials. Kinuu, an ecological artist, imbues her work with handmade warmth and a strong message for the environment.
The "Tohoku Cotton Project" cultivates cotton, spins it, and handles its commercialization and sale, all within a unified process, on farmland made difficult for rice cultivation by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Lee also supports this initiative.

"The women's 'Union-Alls' are not in the Kansas City museum. This is an Asia collection exclusive and a very rare piece."
"#802 (Women’s) Union-Alls" pre-1918-1930
"This is a work jacket that gained popularity among railroad workers and became affectionately known as the 'Loco Jacket.' It's made from a very tough fabric called 'Jelt Denim.'"
"#91J Work Jacket" 1961-1982
"Overalls are an iconic staple of Lee, evolving alongside innovation."
"#38TB (Triangle Back) Lee Overall" 1938-1942
