Jeans<\/a> transcend time, industries, and aesthetics. And no brand is quite as iconic as Levi\u2019s. The brand has become more than a clothing company; it\u2019s a cultural symbol that endures decade after decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n Levi\u2019s is putting its role in pop culture on display in its new Amped: Music Icons in Levi\u2019s Denim<\/a> exhibit, located at its San Francisco headquarters, per NPR<\/a>. From Kurt Cobain\u2019s stained, ripped, faded 501 jeans to Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s bedazzled denim getup, the exhibit features the most iconic denim threads.\u00a0<\/p>\n It includes denim worn by other legends, like Elton John, Freddie Mercury, John Sebastian, and Orville Peck. There\u2019s even a recreation of the enigmatic head-to-toe denim looks Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake wore to the 2001 AMAs.\u00a0<\/p>\n The diversity in this collection highlights denim\u2019s versatility. It can be chic on Beyonc\u00e9 and grungey on Kurt Cobain. One pair of jeans can feel as casual as a Sunday afternoon, while another is fit for the red carpet.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mary Davis, fashion historian and musicologist from Yale University, said to NPR, \u201cThere\u2019s a way in which you can see denim being almost a blank canvas for anything that anybody wants to make it.\u201d<\/p>\n Jeans have their place in the fashion world (obviously), Hollywood<\/a>, and even literature<\/a>. But their presence in music is impossible to ignore. Listen to Beyonce\u2019s hit \u201cLEVII JEANS\u201d, Lana Del Ray\u2019s \u201cBlue Jeans\u201d, and Flo Rida\u2019s \u201cLow\u201d. They all place a pair of classic denim bottoms at the center of the song. This is precisely what the new exhibit celebrates, in all its cotton-clad glory.\u00a0<\/p>\n You can take a look at the faded handwriting on Kurt Cobain\u2019s 501s or see the light reflect off Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s rhinestone denim suit if you pop into the SF Levi\u2019s exhibit. Fair Warning: The mannequin isn\u2019t thique and does not<\/strong> do the look justice the way Bey does.\u00a0<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re an average Joe or the most talented pop star of all time. Everyone needs a good pair of jeans.\u00a0<\/p>\n Get the grunge vibe with a pair of 501\u00ae Original Fit Men\u2019s Jeans<\/a>, the same style that Kurt Cobain wore while rocking out.\u00a0<\/p>\n Or slip into the kind of cut that Freddie Mercury used to wear, like the 512\u2122 Slim Taper Fit Men\u2019s Jeans<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n You can even get your hands on Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s glittery fit. The Beyonc\u00e9 X Levi\u2019s\u00ae 501\u00ae Curve Jeans<\/a> and Beyonc\u00e9 X Levi\u2019s\u00ae Shrunken \u201990s Trucker Jacket<\/a> are both available on the Levi\u2019s site!<\/p>\nWear the Jeans of the Stars<\/h2>\n
