Levi’s Peels Away Life’s Excess, Returns to Simplicity

levis_onion_peel.jpg

Some won’t like this commercial because, once again, Levi’s, with help from Cutwater, is attempting to position its brand as something much more than it is. Oh wait. No. It’s not. It’s actually acknowledging the fact it’s a simple jeans brand. The fancy things in life aren’t as important as your favorite pair of jeans and all that comes with them.

The spot, shot backwards, follows a model as she leaves a photoshoot and returns to her normal life, complete with her perfect, properly facial-haired, exotic-ish-looking boyfriend. It will debut during the season premiers of Gossip Girl September 1.

It’s well done and, OMG, we like it.
