PROFILE |
 |
Good ol' trusty Levi's are one thing. Hip, funky, stylish Levi's are another. Blue-jeans maker Levi Strauss & Co. (LS&CO.) wants to be known for both. LS&CO., the world's #1 maker of brand-name clothing, sells jeans and sportswear under the Levi's, Dockers, and Slates names in over 80 countries. Levi's jeans -- department store staples -- were once the uniform of American youth, but LS&CO. lost touch with the trends in recent years, and slow sales have led the company to slash its US workforce. To re-tap the youth market, LS&CO. is adding hip styles like its unusually cut Engineered Jeans; it also is licensing its brands for youth-oriented products. The Haas family (relatives of founder Levi Strauss) owns LS&CO.
