The Real Deal reports that Levi's is considering leasing space at 414 W. 14th Street in the Meatpacking District. Levi's already has a 14th Street location, but it's four long blocks to the east, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. The MePa space would have a completely different feel, of course. The Real Deal describes it as "high end," and we imagine the view of Matthew Williamson directly across the street ought to be inspirational for anyone designing the place.

Speaking of inspirational, we're a little freaked out by The Real Deal's graphic for this story, above. Poorly Photoshopped giant red arrows and question marks are our thing, you guys! Now we're going to have to make our arrows sparkly or something, just to stand out.
