Levis® invited acclaimed street artist shepard fairey – best known for making his mark around the world with his signature obey logo and more recently his barack obama ‘hope’ poster – to develop a collection for the Levis® brand centered around the obey trademark. the obey x Levis® line includes t-shirts, trucker jackets and jeans which have been injected with fairey’s graphic style. to celebrate, Levis® welcomed fairey to their flagship store located in new york city’s times square – where the artist went to work doing what he does best – adorning the streets in his signature art work. he put up wheatpastes of his art along with tagging the obey logo outside the store infront of an intrigued crowd. fairey preparing the walls for his artwork photo by richard bassettimage courtesy of gradient magazine
