Inspired?
The inspiration for Levi's® Spring 2012 collection was the small California coastal community of Sea Ranch.Ever been there?Beautiful and somewhat isolated, about a hundred miles north of San Francisco, Sea Ranch is a quiet mixture of ocean spray, native flora and only about 1,300 permanent residents. It's a favorite Bay Area escape-to-nature.So ... what did the Levi's® designers do with this inspiration?
