Levi's first announced a collaboration with designer Christelle Kocher during Paris Haute Couture Week, unveiling a ten‑silhouette denim capsule that reinterprets classic Levi's pieces. In a later release, the company detailed the collection’s construction—sculptural denim treatments, pleats, feather and flower appliqués, lace, resin‑coated denim, and leather embroidery—and highlighted statements from Kocher about blending American denim heritage with French craftsmanship, as well as Levi's Europe marketing vice‑president emphasizing the brand’s entry into haute couture.

The two snapshots together trace the rollout from the initial announcement to a fuller description of the capsule’s design concepts and strategic positioning within the high‑fashion arena.
