The Obey x Levi’s® Capsule Collection = Fly Propaganda.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: The Bolshevik brilliance of contemporary artist par excellence, Shepard Fairey, continues to conquer the world and further spread his "WORLDWIDE PROPAGANDA DELIVERY" campaign to new unsuspecting victims. Not that any of us should complain - this design flu would be a welcome pandemic. Shepard Fairey's latest method of transmission comes via the much ballyhooed Obey x Levi’s® Capsule Collection.

This cut and sew collaboration between the artist and the grand daddy of all denim looks to be a marvelous material mash-up featuring Levi’s® timeless jeans and t-shirts exquisitely detailed with the kind of pop-culture insurrectionist illustrations that Mr. Fairey has become world famous for.

On the real, Shepard Fairey is the fuckin' man for keeping the price point reasonable for this limited edition release (The most expensive piece in the range tops out @ a staggering $148.00!!!!) AND for, additionally, creating a very special public, live art installation on the outside facade of the Levi’s® flagship store in New York City's Times Square to commemorate the October 29th launch of the collection. Power To The (Fly) People! LOL. Good shit.
