On the heels of Bravo’s Project Runway episode that featured design contestants creating a new outfit using the material from a pair of Levi’s ® 501 ® jeans and a Levi’s ® Trucker jean jacket, Levi’s ® is having a contest of their own. The rules were pretty much the same: use the jeans and the jacket to create a new look that “captures the originality and youthful spirit of Levi’s ®”.

The entries have been submitted and judging is taking place now, but you can still participate by voting on your top 3 of the 20 finalists. You have to register to vote, but you can win a $501 gift certificate to use on levi.com (not valid at Langston’s stores or langstons.com). Check out the finalists and vote at the Levi’s Project 501 page.

I haven’t seen the Project Runway episode yet, but they rerun these things all the time. It’s called ‘Even the Designers Get the Blues” and according to the Bravo website it’s scheduled to run again this coming Monday, the 25th, at 8pm and next Wednesday, the 27th, at 6pm. So, set your DVRs for the show, vote for your favorites in the Project 501 contest, and maybe win a gift certificate for levi.com. But if you don’t win, don’t worry, we’ll hook you up with some great Levi’s ® products over at our place…
