Music is one of the most authentic forms of self-expression and community. Every year, Levi’s® celebrates this in many ways, like featuring famous artists in its campaigns, sharing stories about how music inspires the masses, and educating the next generations of young musicians through the Levi’s® Music Project. And every May, Levi’s® celebrates the anniversary of the 501®Original with a series of events all over the world. Think music, after-parties, and lots of denim, including a limited-edition collection. This particular celebration is an ode to the pair of jeans that started it all. “The Birthday of the Blue Jean” marks a significant date on the annual cultural calendar of Mumbai – the 3rd Saturday in May is the day we celebrate the conception of an iconic piece in pop culture history.
