Damien Hirst ‘to launch autumn clothing range with Levis’

Damien Hirst is set to launch a limited edition range of clothing in collaboration with the world-famous Levi jeans brand.

The British artist, who became famous for preserving dead animals in formaldehyde, is following the line he released with the firm earlier this year with a new autumn collection.

Coolhunting.com reports that he worked with designer Adrian Nyman on the line which follows three themes of skulls, spots and butterflies.

Items including jeans, t-shirts and jackets are included in the range which is set to be launched later in September.

"The images are emblazoned on black and blue jeans, as well as white, black and purple t-shirts," explains the site.

"Some of the skull images feature the splattered paint of his ’spin paintings’ and one shirt has the black and white portrait of the artist and a skull."

Fashion designer Henry Holland has teamed up with Levis to make-over the classic 501 jeans with a new six-piece collection which will be launched at London Fashion Week.
