On more than one occasion, the direction of modern pop music has been altered by the goings on in the city of Manchester, but as the 1980s were drawing to a close, the emergence of acid house completely upended fashion as well.

A new capsule collection from Clarks and Levi’s celebrates the neo-groovy era of acid house with a selection of Clarks classics, outfitted in bold colors and design details sourced from Levi’s iconic denim.
