In celebration of her Levi’s Made & Crafted Fall ’18 campaign, Lily Aldridge assembled some of her favorites for an intimate outdoor dinner last night at the Levi’s Haus in West Hollywood. Sitting alongside sister Ruby Aldridge and Behati Prinsloo, Lily toasted the collection, a hybrid of global influences inspired by a modern nomadic lifestyle—and a reflection of Lily’s own world travels and signature off-duty style. “I love Levi’s, and I’m such a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl, it’s such a natural fit to work with them,” Lily said of the collection, wearing her own favorites for the evening.

Over a multi-course menu, prepared by Son of a Gun’s Jon Shook, guests including Kristen Stewart and Stella Maxwell, Harley Viera-Newton, Richie Kahn, and recent Levi’s collaborator Karla Welch sat with some of Levi’s chief design team (Nicolle Arbour, global design director for Made & Crafted, and Bart Sights, vice president of technical innovation) and discussed the brand’s most recent innovations (among them, a new customization studio downtown which uses laser technology). But still, Lily Aldridge’s collection references many of the brand’s most enduring classics, many of which were in heavy rotation at the dinner. “Made & Crafted is cool because it’s still very much Levi’s—that classic, cool style—but a little more fashion-forward, a little more elevated,” Aldridge added, noting that her own values align with the brand’s thoughtful approach to sustainability. “That’s why I love them.”

Lily Aldridge for Levi’s Made & Crafted launches August 23.
