Like a lot of retailers, Levi's has leaned into western style trends, though mostly through trendy, high-end products, including crystal-studded jackets, denim corsets and $325 jeans made in Japan. This lifestyle vision has driven some great results for the king of denim. However, jeans are not always about high fashion. Denim is also a practical material for everyday wearing. That's one of the reasons Levi's is rolling out new products aimed at the blue-collar shoppers - basically going back to its roots as a line of workwear that catered to miners and ranchers. To capture shoppers looking for workwear, Levi's is bringing its full assortment to the majority of Boot Barn stores, where it used to only sell about 10% of its products. A sensible step given Boot Barn's popularity. I chatted with Bloomberg about the move, which will help Levi's reach its goal of hitting $10 billion in annual revenue.

The long-standing relationship between Redress and TAL dates back to 2014. Our CEO Mr. Roger Lee connected with Ms. Christina Dean, the founder of Redress andThe R Collectivee , through their involvement with the documentary "The True Cost".   Over the years, our collaboration has focused on tackling fashion industry waste and advancing circular fashion design. TAL has also partnered with The R Collective to repurpose fashion waste into new products.   In early July, we were excited to host Christina to share her insights on circularity and fashion’s environmental impact. She also detailed the implications of the upcoming EU Ecodesign regulations, and offered a big-picture take on fashion's role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Together let's close the loop for meaningful change. #Sustainability #Sharingsession #Circularity #RedressDesignAward #TheRCollective
