21st Century Punk Style
LMC creates clothing born from a free spirit that seeks to reinterpret history for a new era. The San Francisco design team crafts a "new face of Levi's®" each season. This autumn/winter season's theme is "Punk Rock Music." Inspired by the 1970s punk movement, it offers a modern and clean interpretation of Levi's essence.
In terms of items, think rider's jackets, skinny jeans, and trucker jackets. In addition to black and white monochrome, the collection incorporates iconic punk elements like bordeaux and tartan checks, all while adding a contemporary smartness. Pieces like cashmere-blend cut-and-sew tops and repaired skinny jeans are truly born of this 21st century. This season's collection is imbued with LMC's signature touch everywhere. We can only admire the skillful hand that sheds light on the past to revive it for the present. We invite you to explore LMC's confident creations.
