Naturally, we tested out the 2019 Levi’s® Engineered line – complete with sideways subversion of the globally ubiquitous Levi’s® red tab t-shirt – at the Technical University of Berlin (Technische Universität Berlin), known worldwide for its highly ranked engineering programs. Photographer Christian Werner shot the collection at TU’s Institute for Mathematics, housed in an “Eco-modern” construction designed by architects Georg Kohlmaier and Barna von Sartory. Their building concept prioritized technological savvy and energy efficiency, conveyed with the distinct aesthetic verve and optimism of the 1980s – a retro-future setting for 21st century research and innovation.
