DSC_0763 DSC_0791 DSC_0817

Nike Kids Rock Live! took place at New York Fashion Week on Thursday, February 12, 2015 in the Salon at Lincoln Center. It was a celebrity packed, energetic show filled with kids performing acrobats, dancing, and even acting as DJ. Celebrity children rocked head-to-toe looks by Nike, Nike SB, Jordan, Levi’s, Converse, and Hurley.

The show was produced in partnership with Haddad Brands, the Carmelo Anthony Foundation, and Carmelo Anthony. The Carmelo Anthony Foundation gives back to the community through a variety of outreach programs and donations. The foundation benefits children in under-served communities by focusing on education, recreation, and community outreach. 

The show kicked off with a live performance by fifteen year old singer and songwriter, Carly Rose Sonenclar. She was second runner-up in the second season of the X Factor. She is signed by Syco entertainment and was named one of Seventeen Magazine’s “Most Powerful Women Under 21 Years Old.” The runway and crowd stayed energized by DJ Kai Song, who is ten years old. He started his career when he was only five! He made the show amazing, the crowd wanted to get up and dance as the models walked the catwalk!

Sitting front row, Carmelo and LaLa Anthony, Devon Still, CC and Amber Sabathia, Victor Cruz, Prince Fielder, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Hoda Kotb and more as some of the athletes watched their kids hit the runway in looks from Nike, Levi’s, Converse, Hurley, Nike SB and Jordan. The show closed with an inspiring appearance by Devon Still’s daughter Leah Still who shined on the runway while bringing awareness to the fight against pediatric cancer.

Levi’s celebrates 140 years of the 501 jean at Macy’s Union Square

Levi’s held their 140th anniversary celebration at Macy’s Union Square in San Francisco on May 20, 2013 at 6pm. This exciting event attracted a large crowd filled with Levi’s fans, shoppers, bloggers, media and tourists. There was a live presentation with priceless artifacts from Levi’s museum. The oldest pair of jeans in Levi’s archives, which are pictured in the sixth photo from the top as well as on the right of the above photo, are circa 1879. The pair on the left in the above photo, were found in the Calico Mines and are dated from the 1890’s.

Levi’s Historian Lynn Downey took guests through the Levi Strauss story with amazing pieces of history including the changing use of the rivet over time. In addition to several historical pairs of 501 jeans, Lynn Downey shared marketing material which included a Jefferson Airplane radio commercial. The commercial was a song titled “White Jeans” and sounded quite similar to their smash hit “White Rabbit.” How fitting to have a San Francisco band singing for a San Francisco company! Love that!

Levi’s is taking their iconic 501 jeans into new territory this year as they are planning to roll out a new twill version of the popular pant style. Can’t wait!

Here’s to 140 more years of the fabulous 501 jean!
