Fashionable uniform
At first they were considered the clothing of workers and cowboys, then they were chosen by hippies and rock musicians, but now denim trousers can be found, perhaps, in every person’s wardrobe. This season there is a real denim boom on the catwalk. If you're tired of regular jeans, take a look at new designer jeans.
1/ The fabric from which jeans are made is called denim. This name comes from the French serge de Nimes (literally “serge made in Nimes”). The secret of this material lies in the special weave of the threads: the outer threads are dyed, but the inner ones are not.
2/ Levi Strauss is considered the creator of the first jeans. In 1853, young Levi arrived in gold rush-ridden San Francisco, bringing tent fabric with him. The enterprising Strauss came up with the idea to use this fabric to make practical pants for workers. And in 1872, a tailor from Nevada, Jacob Davis, suggested to Strauss the original tailoring of trousers and the idea of fastening the fabric with copper rivets in places of greatest load. A year later, Strauss and Davis became the holders of a patent for the future iconic five-pocket jeans.
3/ According to one version, the word “jeans” owes its origin to the Italian port city of Genoa. At that time, jeans were the name given to the cotton trousers worn by local sailors. Levi Strauss himself preferred to call his invention “topless overalls.”
4/ The classic dye for denim is indigo. Initially, indigo dye was mixed with ashes.
5/ During World War II, jeans became especially popular in the United States - they were sold only to those who took part in hostilities.
6/ Jeans hit the catwalk in the late 60s, when fashion designer Louis Ferro showed a model completely embroidered with rhinestones. Subsequently, the denim style became a source of inspiration for many designers who now sew from denim not only trousers, but also dresses, skirts, shorts, overalls, hats, shoes ( Italian shoes are distinguished by their originality), underwear and much more. And in the collections of Michelle Roth and Yumi Katsura there are even wedding dresses made of denim.
7/ The most expensive jeans are produced by the German brand Escada. These are designer jeans embroidered with Swarovski crystals, costing about $10,000. But even more expensive are Levi's jeans from 1879, which are preserved in a single copy. Their cost is estimated at $125,000.
