The History of Denim

Andra February 02, 2017 Clothing article, denim, fashion trend Comments off

Denim! What a fascinating fabric that conquered the world! It is not only a clothing material, is a symbol, a state of mind, an always changing trend!

We wear denim nowadays as a fashion statement. Denim remains a youth and rebellious symbol but it has taken during time a lot of forms and shapes.

For this type of demand, Leob Strauss is the one to put the first bricks on the jeans empire along with a Nevada tailor. The businessman then changed his name into the well-known jeans brand Levi and this is where the fashion jeans started.
