The other day I had an original Jim Philips Levi’s® vest delivered to my house from Levi’s® as a gift. I’m so excited to own this piece, I think it’s so rad and such an awesome ode to such an iconic artist. It came with a cool sticker collection too, feel like I’m 16 again, just need my Mongoose and walkman and I’ll be set. Haha.
Available at selected Levi’s® stores nationwide.
– The Levi’s® brand has just recently teamed up with California-based artist, Jim Phillips, known for his original and iconic surf, skate and rock art to bring us a collaboration series that not only expresses Levi’s® laid-back character, but represents the Golden State of mind.
During the 1970s, Jim Phillips’ work for Santa Cruz skateboards instantly became the voice of California subculture. His carefully detailed drawings are colourful and humorous while representing a carefree, adventurous spirit. His work is characteristically distinct, having influenced a generation of young artists and pioneers.
