Deep dives
Levi's and the Denim Renaissance
In 2024, denim has been crowned the trend of the year, with high demand and a resurgence in denim fashion styles. Despite this, Levi's, known for its denim, is not experiencing the expected success in this denim boom. While their Q2 earnings were better than anticipated, Levi's stock fell by 17% after the report, citing disappointing sales from brands like Dockers and lagging sales in China. Levi's traditional image as a reliable denim brand may be hindering its ability to capitalize on trendy denim styles, prompting the company to shift towards a more direct-to-consumer model.
