Students in CCA's Fashion Design Program paired up with UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business students to compete in a Levi Strauss & Co. case competition on sustainability. The challenge was to find a profitable business solution to address denim waste/reuse. For two weeks experts from Levi Strauss & Co. worked with the students on a variety of issues, including finance, design, strategy, sustainability, and garment life cycle.

At the end of the competition each team presented a short video and gave a 10-minute presentation to a panel of three judges, which included Rebecca Malkin Chocron, a senior director of finance at Levi Strauss; Benjamin Ospital, owner and founder of Modern Appealing Clothing; and Michael Kobori, vice president, Social and Environmental Sustainability at Levi Strauss.
