Yoon Ahn teases denim with hard luxury feel
Tokyo-based designer Yoon Ahn has posted teaser shots of an upcoming collaboration between her Ambush brand and denim company Levi’s, which appears to feature co-branded metallic silver jacrons and black Levi’s tabs on lightly washed denim.
Silver-coloured jacket buttons also appear almost bottle cap-like.
Ms Ahn kept the text which captioned the preview imagery short, simply writing: “That’s what makes it. The attitude”, in addition to including several examples of punkish mood photography in a carousel uploaded to her personal Instagram page.
The metallic finishes are especially interesting, particularly given the creative’s background as a jewellery designer for not only Ambush, which produces collections across multiple categories, but also for Dior Homme, where she has been jewellery designer since 2018.
In related news, Levi’s Japan relaunched its baggier-fit Silver Tab line, which first debuted in 1988, late last month. Initially reintroduced in the form of three jean styles, a graphic t-shirt and a sweater limited to Japanese retailers, the line may also be rolled out worldwide in the future, according to reports.
