The concept of Rebuild was for 16 NZ Designers/Creatives to "rebuild" a Levis classic denim jacket -in their own vision-as a reflection of the process the city of Christchurch and its residents are currently going through.

Promoting a positive way of seeing destruction as also a time to create - when something is destroyed it heralds a new era of creation, and can then be rebuilt to a new and unique vision.

These jackets feature in the latest issue of REMIX mag (get your hands on a copy for the full editorial shoot) and are available to bid on Trade me, with all funds raised going towards supporting Christchurch's rebuild after the earthquakes.
