Levi’s and Naomi Osaka team up for new denim collection

Levi's has reunited with tennis star Naomi Osaka for a new Levi's x Naomi Osaka denim collection this summer.

The five-piece collection draws on original sketches by Osaka and features contrasting denim washes and creative plays on proportion.

Highlights include a cascading Mermaid Skirt featuring contrasting denim and a ruffled, high-low hemline that makes for a short skirt on one side and a maxi skirt on the other, as well as a Denim Halter Top and oversized Artist Coat.

Rounding out the collection is a cropped and puffed up Zip Bomber Jacket and the flower-bear laser print ’93 Naomi Jean, based off of a men’s 501 Jean for a slouchy fit.

Osaka said in a statement: “I wanted to keep this collection fun and playful, and also include some pieces for everyone. I was trying to bring some light-heartedness with this collection as a reminder for us all to enjoy the life we’re living and not take things too seriously.

"Best of all, these pieces all make me feel super confident and comfortable because they’re all so flattering and fun to wear.”
