Heron Preston has announced a second collaboration with Levi
Strauss. The streetwear designer wrote on Instagram that the upcoming
collaboration was inspired by a tattoo on his arm that reads “1873
MISTAKES ARE OK.”
The designer explained that the tattoo commemorates mistake on his
birth certificate in which the hospital accidentally recorded his
birth year as 1873 – the same year as the founding of the Levi’s brand
– rather than 1983.
“As a result, the collaboration takes denim and builds in conscious
aberrations: re-shaped & misplaced pockets, mismatched buttons and
rivets, incorrectly cut labeling, reversed belt loops, exposed
linings, asymmetric accenting and off register resin prints,”
explained the caption.

The collaboration is slated for the Spring/Summer 2020 season.
Heron Preston and Levi’s joined forces earlier this year on a line
of updates to the denim brand’s classic 501 jean. The streetwear
designer introduced elements including tie dye prints, drawstrings and
faded colors to the style.
