Levi’s is digging into the archive this autumn and bringing out a selection of pieces that have graced the wardrobes of denim-clad legends from the LGBTQ+ community throughout the years. Icons in Denim – A Queer Perspective will show at Queer Britain this September, becoming the first exhibition to occupy the venue’s new South Gallery. Among the items on display will be highlights such as a pair of Levi’s 501 Jeans worn by Freddie Mercury in 1980 (fresh off the heels of the divisive exhibition and auction by Sotheby’s), a pair of Levi Strauss Signature Jeans and a t-shirt worn by Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain in 2005, and a pair of 70s-era Levi’s 501 Jeans and a t-shirt owned and worn by California’s first openly gay elected official Harvey Milk.
