As part of the campaign, Levi’s partnered with students from the School of Fashion in a project to upcycle denim jeans and present the final designs in the form of social content. In the process, students learn to develop essential skills in response to real world seasonal trends, timelines, project management and business communications.
Leeanne O'Donnell, a student from Diploma in Creative Direction for Fashion, responded to the brief with her own rendition of Riot Grrrl, a subculture in the early 1990s. Her experience the project taught her to work with limited resources.
