Summary
- Levi's and Kiko Kostadinov release their second collaborative collection with five denim pieces for women
- The collection draws design inspiration from vintage postal stamps and debuts after appearing at Paris Fashion Week
- Items include jackets, jeans, and shorts, launching September 12 at both brands' retail locations
The denim brand Levi's has partnered with London designer Kiko Kostadinov for a second time. Their new collection features five women's pieces inspired by vintage postal stamps from around the world.
Sisters Laura and Deanna Fanning designed the collection under the Kiko Kostadinov studio. The pieces first appeared on the Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 runway earlier this year.
Each item displays original artwork based on historical postal stamps. The designers chose stamps to represent what they call "the beauty of a bygone form of communication." One stamp design even features the sisters' dog Dante.
"We are interested in how transit, both physical and emotional, leaves an imprint", Laura and Deanna explained. "Like stamps on worn denim, clothing becomes a way of remembering, of becoming."
The collection's main piece is the Carina Waisted Jacket. This light-washed indigo jacket comes in two versions: one with postal stamp prints and another in plain light indigo. The plain version uses non-stretch denim and includes back elbow darts, stainless steel zippers, snap closures, and a matching belt.
The Carina Flared Jean matches the jacket's two color options. The collection also includes Carina Apron Shorts, which only come in indigo.
All five pieces use reimagined denim silhouettes that blend traditional construction with postal stamp artwork. The designers treated each garment as both functional clothing and wearable art.
The collaboration reflects both brands' approach to combining heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design. Levi's brings its denim expertise while Kiko Kostadinov contributes avant-garde aesthetics.
Customers will find the collection at Levi's stores and Kiko Kostadinov retailers starting September 12. The pieces target fashion-forward consumers who appreciate both quality denim and artistic design elements.
This second partnership builds on the success of the brands' first collaboration, which also featured unique interpretations of classic denim pieces with artistic influences.
