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.shepard fairey: obey collaboration with Levis® fairey preparing the walls for his artwork photo by richard bassettimage courtesy of gradient magazine
