The design team at Levi’s said: “Princess Mononoke features hand-painted backgrounds depicting gorgeous scenes in nature, and that’s something we felt really inspired by.”
The collection plays on the light and dark of the film, with light denim day and dark denim night options.
The light denim options include a light indigo denim with characters San and Ashitaka, a San & Wolf trucker jacket and Ashitaka jeans or San & Moro shorts.
The dark denim options include the Nightwalker denim kimono jacket and the Kodama denim overall.
As well as denim pieces, there’s also graphic tees and hoodies, that are “more streetwear-inspired than the denim”.
