Denim Porn: Levis' Best (and Sometimes Accidental) Models

There was a time when denim jeans didn't come with a $200 price tag and the qualifier "skinny." Don't believe me? Ask Ulysses S. Grant or anyone else alive in 1873, the year Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis patented the blue jean. Over the past 140 years, the wardrobe staple has evolved from button fly to bell-bottom, and way, way beyond (wait till you see the guy with fire-breathing pants). But when it comes down to it, there's nothing like the basic blueprint. Durable, thick, unisex-the kind of cut that looks good on everyone, and particularly good on a few people. On Levi's birthday, let's reflect on the men and women who helped keep this great brand alive-hot celebrities and models. -Piper Weiss, Shine Staff
