Damien Hirst, the world's most successful living artist, is lending his talents to Levi Strauss on a new project. The creator of works such as the £50m diamond skull and glass-encaged calf, Hirst is collaborating with the San Francisco denim giant on the spring 2008 collection of the company's Warhol Factory X Levi's label.

The collection will be introduced in a runway show during New York Fashion Week in September, showing under the name Warhol Factory X Levi's X Damien Hirst. Let's hope Hirst's preferred themes of death and diamonds don't make it onto the catwalk.
