President Obama rocked some (perhaps questionably-fitting) Levi’s when he threw out the first pitch at the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday, and we’re still convinced that Levi’s make the best cutoffs.

And now the jeans brand is encouraging Americans to embrace their heritage and show some American pride as a part of their Go Forth Campaign.

They are asking you to submit videos, photos, text messages, or audio files on any subject that reflects today’s new pioneering America spirit in some way.

Or, you can complete one of the tasks posted on the website, and show how you think that task reflects America.

Sorry dudes.

Keegan doesn’t need an assistant - he loves George - but Nicola Formichetti needs a handful of interns.

Lots of them. Specifically, “girls and gays who live in New York City,” as in they know their way around the city, the subway, magazines, designers, photographers, models, clothes. You must have previous fashion/styling/editorial/PR experience.

You’ll assist on photo shoots, run errands and steam clothes with enthusiasm and a smile on your face. They need hard working, dedicated, passionate people to start now. It’s not paid and if you can’t do full time they’d like you to be on-call. Nicola works for Dazed and Confused, V Magazine, V-Man, Vogue, Bazaar, Uniqlo, Levis, Max Mara etc.

But if you didn’t know that, this probably isn’t the one for you. You can email his assistant at emilyeisen@gmail.com.

Last year’s rather girly, aka floral, House of Holland show was punctuated by a few pairs of jeans here and there - a small price to pay for massive amounts of Levi’s money.

This season, DKNY will benefit from the denim dollars, too.

Donna’s collaborating with Levi’s on three styles of jeans: a skinny, a boyfriend and a wide-leg. They land in stores (Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor and Macy’s) in just a few weeks and will set you back a not-so-recession friendly $225.

They say the move’s for DKNY’s 20th birthday - DKNY launched with jeans in 1989 and Levi’s is the international word for jeans - but heaps of money can’t hurt either.

Meanwhile, in other Donna news, the designer’s finally agreed to do away with fur.

And to think, all it took was plastering Manhattan with graphic images of bloody bunnies.

We should just write one form post that reads like this:

__________ showed ruffled dresses and tops layered under ________ jackets. The collection took a turn for ___________ toward the end with sheer ________ and some sort of _______ jumpsuit.

That’s pretty much how Isabel Marant went. The fill-in words would be Isabel Marant, denim, the fancy, pants and childish.

The collection was shown to an all American soundtrack, or the French version of one, including Kids in America, then Crimson and Clover, Bette Davis Eyes, and Candy.

The show took place across from the Eiffel Tower to an audience including very American socialites who wouldn’t look twice at the clothes if they hung in the Levi’s store, (because that’s where it looked like most of them belonged), but will no doubt eat up the bootie shorts, crocheted rompers and cut-out tops.

Or at least, that’s what we want.

Jerry Kaye, former creative director for Perry Ellis, has just been named head designer for Dr. Martens.

That’s probably the most sensible fashion appointment we’ve ever heard.

Kaye came on as Men’s fashion director at Ellis in 1993, the same year Marc Jacobs was fired, and stayed up until 2005 when he launched his own consulting firm working with clients like Levi’s.

Hartmarx, the company that owns Dr. Marten’s and hopes to expand into ready-to-wear, chose Kaye because of his “vast experience in taking heritage brands and making them modern and relevant in today’s marketplace.”

We’re still waiting for our new docs to arrive in the mail, (they’re a gift and we’ll be scribbling all over them), and now we’ll also be waiting to see Kaye’s take on the classic shoe.

The question is, will we actually wear them?

Jack, 38, Designer & Victorya, 34, Designer

Got Them: At Bergdorf Goodman for an Italian Textile Exhibit, (more on that later). Chris was there too, but he’s a bit camera shy!

Stalked Them: Because every time we see a designer, we want to know if they made their own outfit. And because we had to know what they’d been up to since their dramatic exits from Project Runway.

Shot Them: Because we’re having fun racking up Project Runway streetwalkers faster than you can say, “Auf Wiedersehen.”

Jack Says: “The shirt’s Gucci and the jeans are Levi’s - but I made my body. Does that count?”

Victorya says: “My shirt is vintage and my jeans are Earl. My first design job was at Earl and it was actually really fun. I got my boots in Paris and I have no idea who makes them, but I know I love them. And Paris sounds better than a brand anyway!”

We Say: When in doubt, always answer Paris.

With all kinds of denim still saturating the market, it’s clear that Levi’s is trying really hard to make sure they stay on top.

First they paid for a massive product-placement deal with Project Runway, sponsoring not just a challenge but also a contest where Tim Gunn and Nina Garcia judged Levi’s designs from fashion students and devotees of Christian Siriano.

Now we hear the brand is headed to South by Southwest, the Austin music festival, for a much cooler partnership with the Paris brand Surface 2 Air.

Beloved by Cathy Horyn and Karl Lagerfeld, the streetwear brand will zoom to Texas to help make denim a little more exciting for the I’ve-seen-everything-cool-and-I’m-cooler crowd.

Will the high fashion jeans be better than the bands?

Well, let’s put it this way: indie rockers, like models, usually have an expiration date, but a pair of jeans that actually fits you is forever.

We love Henry Holland and we love Levi’s.

But when we think of the two of them together, visions of acid wash denim, neon embroidery, ‘H’ emblazoned pockets and exaggerated rips dance in our head.

Henry announced yesterday that he’ll customize their classic 501’s and feature them on his Spring/Summer ‘09 runway in September.

Levi’s claims, “We don’t enter into collaborations lightly,” but the last brand they collaborated with was Stussy. So even if the jeans come out in shades of neon only Agyness can wear, we’re sure they’ll be more successful than Levi’s last partnership.

And if the jeans end up tartan, we might even love them.

[PS. First Project Runway, now Henry Holland - it looks like Levi’s is really trying to get in with the fashion crowd.]
