The brand

LEVENITY Collection LLC is an advanced-contemporary women’s ready-to-wear sportswear brand which launched in Dallas, TX. Part of a new generation of young emerging fashion brands, LEVENITY's distinctive propensity is to gracefully bring together seemingly opposed elements through tailored architectural lines and what we like to describe as "texture-blocking".

 

The brand features jackets, coats, dresses, tops, skirts and trousers made only with the finest of materials. Our mission is to promote a lifestyle brand through our line of apparel that redefines American sportswear, by creating exquisitely made garments which invites our clients to take part in our vision of luxury. We achieve this by injecting a blend of various distinct influences with dynamic ingenuity, sophistication and technique.
