Whether on the road with her rocker husband (Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill) or walking the runway in couture, Lily Aldridge always looks amazing. Though she describes her personal style as "ever evolving," one thing in her closet is a constant: denim. It's no surprise, then, that she's a longtime fan of Levi's, having first worked with the brand on the 'Walk the Line' commercial in 2006 ("one of my favorite shoots ever!"). Now, the Nashville-based model and mom of two (daughter Dixie Pearl, six, and new baby boy, Winston Roy) is partnering with the classic denim outfitter again on its newest Made & Crafted line, a series of elevated pieces that draws on the timeless Levi's legacy.
