On May 28, 2025, New York played host to an exclusive, invitation-only dinner event celebrating the much-anticipated Levi’s x sacai collaboration—a project that artfully redefines classic denim through sacai’s innovative lens. Set against the urban sophistication of the city’s Lower East Side, the evening brought together industry insiders and fashion enthusiasts to explore the dynamic fusion of heritage craftsmanship and forward-thinking design.
Among the evening’s luminaries was Chase Sui Wonders, whose modern-day James Dean allure captured the essence of the collection. Her appearance—effortlessly cool yet meticulously styled—served as the perfect embodiment of the collaboration’s spirit. Clad in a statement piece that blended structured tailoring with deconstructed denim silhouettes, Sui Wonders showcased the collection’s signature dual-brand aesthetic, characterized by custom details and refined hardware, a nod to Levi’s storied past reimagined through sacai’s inventive approach.
The dinner unfolded as an immersive experience: guests enjoyed artfully crafted menus, bespoke cocktails, and curated installations that highlighted key pieces from the collection. With creative direction inspired by the campaign’s Craig McDean-shot visuals and styling by Karl Templer, every atmospheric detail—from the ambient lighting to the minimalist decor—reinforced the narrative of reinvention and subtle rebellion. Conversations buzzed about the evolution of denim, the balance between tradition and innovation, and how collaborations like Levi’s x sacai are setting new benchmarks for modern luxury and casual sophistication.
