A collab lives or dies on respect. Treat the IP like a costume and the fans smell it instantly. Levi's kept teaming with cultural icons, and the job every time was to honor their world without losing Levi's own.
So each one got its own logic. A minimalist white set to let Super Mario's color do the work. 80s-mall VHS texture for Stranger Things, shot on the actual set. Prisms and green screen to bridge Hello Kitty's sweetness with Levi's edge. Mixed film formats, ARRI to Super 8, to make Star Wars feel like the future as imagined from the past. I composed original music for a few of them, too.
Hello Kitty pulled the highest engagement on Levi's Instagram at the time.
