In celebration of Women’s History Month, Levi’s® partnered with first-generation Guyanese-American designer Marrisa Wilson NY for a limited edition collaboration featuring a customized Heritage Trucker Jacket and Ribcage Bootcut jean. The collaboration combines the rich and vibrant stylings of Marrisa Wilson NY with Levi’s® heritage of self-expression, innovation, and denim to celebrate and uplift, Black women.

Soulful sounds are the inspiration behind every MWNY collection, and Marrisa’s favorite female R&B song titles and lyrics are embroidered throughout the interior and exterior of the garments. The song titles are highlighted with a punch of bright yellow, an energetic color that’s used as a connecting thread throughout many of MWNY’s creations. One of the collection’s standout pieces is a Trucker jacket that features boucle embroidery resembling textured hair, used as a motif to show other women that Black hair is beautiful in all of its forms. The Trucker jacket speaks to society’s politicization of Black women’s hair and Marrisa’s own journey of acceptance of hers in its natural state. Details like customized buttons, a yellow Levi’s® tab and back patch accent all of the garments found in the collection, and further add to its uniqueness.

“We are committed to supporting emerging designers, fostering creative opportunity and providing a platform to showcase up and coming talent. We wanted to partner with Marrisa for Women’s History Month as her work celebrates self-expression and aims to create a diverse and connected global community of women. The fashion world is a challenging industry for young and independent designers, especially emerging Black and Brown designers, and we feel it’s important to support those whose work inspires and has a bold point of view,” said Jen Sey, Brand President at Levi Strauss & Co.

The Heritage Trucker Jacket and Ribcage Bootcut jean will be available on March 8th on the Levi’s® App exclusively.
