I am talking about the legendary 501 original fit by Levi's, invented by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss in 1873. True American Heritage. Levi's 501's are being worn and loved all over the world. They are simple, true and original. The combination of comfort and toughness gives a sense of freedom and self confidence to millions of devoted wearers.

The two visionary immigrants turned denim, thread and a little metal into the most popular clothing product in the world. Waist overalls was the traditional name for work pants, which is what these first jeans were called. The waist overalls where actually born trough the need of robust work pants by the Californian forty-niner (gold-digger). At first, Levi Strauss used brown sail cloth for the pants and because Jacob Davis was tired of constantly repairing the pant pockets, they added copper rivets for more strength - the first Levi's was born. And very soon after, they discovered the indigo color with which they dyed the fabric. In the first 50 years the jeans was mostly worn by cowboys, farmers and miners. The word jeans became more popular around the 1960's when the baby boom generation adopted the term for its favorite type of pants, the blue jeans.

James Dean - The Blue Rebellion

In America, the Levi's 501 was still symbolizing the "values" of the Wild West while the so-called Wild West was long gone. The dream factory Hollywood picked up the zeitgeist and created new heroes - heroes in blue jeans like James Dean and Marlon Brando.

With their movies "Rebel without a Cause - 1955" or "The Wild One - 1953" they expressed the growing dissatisfaction of the young generation, symbolized the rebellion against the old and their conventions, against a monotone life with material abundance and emotional emptiness.
The heroes on screen became the role models of the youth, wearing blue jeans became a lifestyle. Along with the fim reels of Hollywood came the booming jeans culture to Europe.

Flower people and pacifists:

The New Yorker Woodstock Festival in 1969 is being considered the height of the hippie and flower power movement. The festival appears like a denim commercial presentation.

California artist Bruce Wolfe was responsible for some of the most creative and compelling imagery for the brand's series of posters. These posters are among the best of his work.

Zillion is the brain child of French photographer David Guarino, who scours Tokyo for vintage kimono fabrics to make caps, laces and belts. A huge fan of Japanese crafts, Guarino packages his products in traditional boxes, tied with the traditional string. Even the logo is an ancient Japanese family crest.

The oldest and most prestigious soap making factory in Porto, Portugal, CLAUS PORTO was founded in 1887 by two world renowned chemists: Ferdinand Claus and Georges Schwedder. Together they created the base for what was to become one of the most important soap making factories ever.
The final soap product, and more importantly the base ingredients (many soap producers cannot make this claim) are never tested on animals. As this soap is completely natural and 100% bio-degradable, it is environmentally friendly.
In addition to the finest ingredients available, all of the graphics and packaging used are authentic and original and are chosen from the archives of CLAUS PORTO / ACH BRITO

"This was the main image used for the presentation at The dragon Bar called "A Matter of Taste" for which my aim was to produce erotic and even sexual images with out being seen as sexist...I don't know if that worked but some lady spectators thought they were done by a girl..."

" Was originally a sketch for a canvas of the same name...It was painted onto fabric for a show a the Lazarides Gallery back in May 2006...It could be seen as a reverse version of the bathroom pastel I did for the "Matter of Taste" show...That one was inspired by an entirely different anecdote..."

An interesting collaboration between Addict and Mitch, an artist who works extensively within the genre of music design, creating some of the most memorable album sleeve art of the last decade with his uniquely distinctive illustration style and his eye for color. He also showed his works at the the Art Basel/Miami, Candela Festival/Puerto Rico and Board/London.
The Addict icons series brought up in the Shires of the North of England, Mitch's fascination with design and illustration was initiated by a love of comics and the Star Wars phenomenon. His first true influence was Ralph McQuarrie (Star Wars' chief illustrator) and, much do the disapproval of various art teachers, he spent most of his early years in the realms of fantasy art and graffiti.
