Technically, the entrepreneur who went by “Uncle Levi” didn’t invent the copperrivetsondenim“waist overalls” that became his firm’s stock-in-trade. The idea came from a tailor in Nevada who bought cloth
from Strauss to make work clothes for labourers. In 1872 Jacob Davis persuaded him to jointly file for a patent for an “improvement in fastening pocket openings”, and to shift from selling fabric to finished trousers. The rest is a history of marketing genius—documented in the largest-ever public display of artifacts from the Levi Strauss & Co. archive.

严酷说来,这位人称“李维大叔”的企业家其实不是牛仔“齐腰工装裤”上的铜铆钉的发现者(这个物件厥后成为了他公司产物的经常使用件)。这个主张是内华达州的一位成衣想出来的,他从施特劳斯那边采办布料,制成体力劳动者穿的事情服。1872年,雅各布·戴维斯说服施特劳斯配合为一个“增强口袋启齿安稳度的法子”申请专利,并从卖面料转向卖制品裤子。接下来即是一段天才营销的汗青。李维斯公司档案馆有史以来最大的文物公然展记实了这段汗青。
“Levi Strauss: A History of American Style” at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Franciscodeftlyweaves together corporate, cultural and social trends to tell the story of one of the country’s most famous exports. When Strauss died in 1902 he waseulogised asone of San Francisco’s foremostphilanthropistsand apillar ofthe Jewish co妹妹unity.

Nobody could have anticipated that the firm hebequeathed tofour nephews would define America’s style and become a globaljuggernaut. It did that by cannily roping its product to two mythic American figures: the cowboy and the rebel.

没有人会预感到他留给四个外甥的公司会界说美国的气概,并成为一个全世界巨擘。它夺目地将自家产物与美国大名鼎鼎的两类人物形象相挂钩——牛仔和叛逆者。
Levi’s 501 jeans were tough. The oldest pair on display dates to 1890; another was used to tow a car. Marketed originally to farmers, mechanics and miners, they became thegarbof choice for Western horsemen. It wasn’t long before John Wayne and Clark Gable were wearing them into the sunset, followed byglamoroushoodlumsplayed by Marlon Brando and James Dean.

李维斯501牛崽裤很健壮。这次展出的最古老的一条于1890年出产,另有一条曾被用来牵引一辆汽车。这款牛崽裤最初面向农夫、机修工和矿工贩卖,厥后成为了西部牛仔的首选打扮。没过量久,西部片中有了约翰·韦恩和克拉克·盖博穿戴这款裤子走进落日的画面,以后它又被马龙·白兰度和詹姆斯·迪恩扮演的魅力实足的小地痞穿上身。
The brand’s advertising rodethe countercultural wave, capitalising on its status as a badge of coolness and freedom. Marilyn Monroe wore Levi’s; Andy Warhol i妹妹ortalised them. Even Albert Einstein was spotted in a Levi’s bomber jacket. Jeans that graced thehaunchesof the famous—including Patti Smith, Madonna and Beyoncé—fill the gallery and span the decades.

这个品牌的告白鼓吹受益于反主流文化的海潮,充实操纵了其本身标记着“酷”和自由的职位地方。玛丽莲·梦露穿过李维斯,安迪·沃霍尔令李维斯牛崽裤申明不朽。就连爱因斯坦也穿过李维斯的飞翔员茄克。曾勾画过一众名流(帕蒂·史姑娘、麦当娜和碧昂斯等)体态曲线的牛崽裤也呈现在展馆,超过了几十年的韶光。
