My TikTok For You page is never short of inspirational fashion content, and lately, DIY videos are catching my attention the most. Check out the six TikTok creators below who were each challenged to personalize the new Levi’s® 501® 90’s jeans for five minutes a second based on their unique craft and fashion sense. These jeans are inspired by everyone’s favorite 501® Originals but feature a classic, comfortable silhouette. Levi’s® known as the ultimate blank canvas for self-expression, and assuming these creators’ customizations prove that sentiment is right. The end results from these talented women are stunning and unique. Whether they all stick to the deadline is another story. (But we’ll let it slide!)
Yolanda Espicueta is a frugal expert, so it’s no surprise that she’s drawn to the 501’s vintage-inspired fit.® The jeans of the ’90s.”I started TikTok to share my frugal findings,” she explains. I want to show people how to dress well with pocket money because when I grow up I want to be fashionable, but I can’t afford to. “
Espericueta started sewing a few years ago to customize the fit and style of her thrifts, and now she frequently changes her outfits to her own personal touches. Her new Levi’s® denim pants are no exception. “I chose to add leopard print, faux fur trim to the jeans because I thought it would add a bit of boldness and give them an element of fun that I try to incorporate into my everyday outfits.” she said. “The waist is right where I like it, and these slim-fitted legs definitely remind me of the ’90s supermodel look.” Espericueta also injects a ’90s vibe with the rest of the outfit by styling denim with chunky boots, a crop top, and a clip-on updo.
Grace Xu She may be known for her crochet skills on TikTok, but lately, she’s also been doing embroidery. She told me that other creators inspired her to sew her own slightly imperfect doodles. “I really want to maintain the relevance of the 501® ’90s, so I decided to go for hand embroidery just to make them my own,” she said.
Xu kept the rest of the outfit simple and let the denim take center stage. “I definitely find myself leaning towards the fun colors of the embroidery and styling these jeans in a more maximal outfit later down the road, but I think there’s something about the wide leg jeans combo. and the little shirt makes for great fun – the women’s uniform,” she said.
Like many others, Genai Nakama started her TikTok as a fun, creative outlet. “It’s been great to fall into my niche and find other creators and TikTok users who make me feel seen and can provide the same visibility I’m looking for,” she explained. like.
For her denim, Nakama drew inspiration from Los Angeles, where she grew up. “Walking down the street, riding the bus, and even looking at my dad — someone always wore a sharp pair of Levi’s®,” she recalls. I would like to pay tribute to the relationship between my city and Levi’s® by painting ‘Los Angeles’ in front. It’s simple but effective,” she said.
I followed Madeline Ronzoni on TikTok for months. She creates these amazingly colorful rugs in all sorts of unique shapes. (I keep an eye on this flower carpet.) Recently, she’s been using her skills beyond rugs, using knitting to create bags and patches for denim.
Since Valentine’s Day was approaching, Ronzoni was inspired to create red and pink quilted hearts and secure them on her denim (with a matching heart handbag, of course). . The hearts on the back pocket are so cute. As for the actual jeans, Ronzoni said, “I love this pair of 501s® ’90 from Levi’s® because of the comfortable, comfortable fit while still having a classic and fashionable look. “I couldn’t agree more.
Kelsey Kotzur’s New thinking about fashion. “You can’t tell me I’m not the ugliest woman on the planet when I’m wearing an outfit that I know is intense,” she says of her approach. “I love using clothes to lift my mood and make it look like I figured things out. (Spoil alert: I don’t.)”
Kotzur is a denim girl through and through. “Denim are my number one wardrobe staple, they’re roomy, comfortable, and have an effortless vibe,” she says. For this project, she recreated an epic denim look worn by Hailey Bieber at the VMAs. “I bought a glue gun and 400 green feathers and went crazy. I don’t have a model that I’m following. I just want the jeans covered in green,” she said. Talk about your process.
Nandi Perry’s eclectic style, edgy, and a bit “dodge”, in her words. “I love that fashion gives me a way to express myself without having to say a word,” she told me. Perry has styled a lot of unique denim outfits on TikTok, so I’m excited Looking forward to seeing her ’90s 501®s.
Perry chooses to ruffle the front pockets, cut the bottom to create a rough hem, and embroider a quote with her own signature, Until we die we make art, on either side. “These customizations are like a true representation of myself, and I could wish for nothing more than to have the ability to make art for the rest of my life,” she explains.
