Every year, we create a Pride collection to celebrate our friends and family in the LGBTQ community. It’s a way to increase visibility, get more people involved in the push for equality and give back.
Made with self-expression in mind, this year’s collection celebrates the many ways people can customize their Levi’s® to show the world who they are. We centered our designs around the “I AM” tee as a big way to make a personal declaration and encourage people to put their unique style on display.
In addition to the collection, we wanted to show how members of the LGBTQ community live their lives — real, raw and unedited. To do that, we asked some pioneers and activists to share their stories. Meet our 2018 Pride cast.
