The Levi’s® brand, in collaboration with Beyoncé, today debuted The Denim Cowboy, the final installment of the year-long Levi’s® REIIMAGINE campaign. The film weaves together the three previous chapters, revealing the campaign as more than a reinterpretation of iconic Levi’s® advertisements – it is the creation of a new narrative centered on empowerment and rewriting the rules. Shown throughout The Denim Cowboy are Levi’s® icons and hero pieces from the new BEYONCÉ x LEVI’S® denim collection that serve as the film’s uniform and latest cornerstone of the partnership with Beyoncé, highlighting the brand’s denim lifestyle leadership.
Set to an exclusive edit of the “Levii’s Jeans” soundtrack from the Grammy Award-winning album, Cowboy Carter, the 90-second film includes new scenes and extended cuts from the previously released Launderette, Pool Hall and Refrigerator films – all inspired by classic Levi’s® advertisements from the ‘80s and ‘90s. Once again, the Levi’s® brand partnered with Grammy Award-winning director Melina Matsoukas to bring this vision to life
“The Denim Cowboy marks the culmination of the groundbreaking Levi’s® REIIMAGINE campaign, marking the final celebration of a partnership that has explored reinvention and reinterpretation at every turn,” said Kenny Mitchell, Global Chief Marketing Officer of the Levi’s® brand at Levi Strauss & Co. “The campaign represents a new level and scale of collaboration that has put women at the center of the narrative, and set in motion a new, iconic chapter in Levi’s® history that continues to reaffirm the brand’s place at the center of culture.”
The Denim Cowboy launches with a fully integrated global campaign, including television, digital, social media, and out-of-home. The campaign maintains the Levi’s® tradition of working with the most celebrated creative talents of our time. Matsoukas collaborated with Emmy Award-winning cinematographer Marcell Rév and acclaimed photographer Mason Poole to capture the visual essence of the REIIMAGINE campaign, adding another layer to the rich tapestry of iconic Levi’s® campaigns.
The campaign was conceived in creative partnership with TBWA\Chiat\Day LA and Parkwood Entertainment and produced by de la revolućion/PRETTYBIRD.
