The concept of denim wear underwent sea changes in the 20th century when denim was used to manufacture every piece of garment. Such reputed brands as Wrangler, Ralph Lauren, Mustang, Lee, Blue Bell, Pepe Jeans, Dallas and other denim-oriented professionals launched collections including items for all occasions, namely trousers, overalls, jackets, vests, skirts, dresses, summer dresses, shirts, suits, headwear and other stuff. The shoes from denim was introduced with the textile slightly changed. The indigo color was no longer crucial for items and lots of denim wear was launched of various incredible shades from striking to acid to pastel and tender hues. The washed denim paved its triumphal way in 90s which is the separate page of history in fashion industry.
The reputed couturiers used to compete with the skill to create exclusive luxe wear from denim. The denim wear made by Dolce & Gabbana and Armani was always highly quoted and demanded. The invention by Gucci House as the torn jeans with feathers, studs and application sold for the $3.134 was recorded in the Guinness Record Book. The record was beaten by other brands when in 2009 Escada presented jeans studded with Swarovski crystals estimated as costing ten thousand USD by fashion experts. The last word was still for Levis, the pioneer of the genre, and the Company acquired the trousers auctioned at e-Bay of their own made in 80s of the 19th century. The trousers did not unveil any visual extravagance in look though the final estimate totaled as over forty six and a half thousand USD.
Sense of style
Neglecting the attempts of fashion designers to make denim the glamorous style textile, we still remember it was invented as the special outfit textile for workers. Denim wear is durable and practical, though they do no refer to esthetic aspect. So, evening dresses from denim studded with crystals is not luxurious in style but something extravagant. The fashion analysts do not recommend getting abused with denim wear even if it is practical and universal for every occasion. A person looks attractive when the image works for them. Denim in every its variation for every situation is something boring and is not the concept at all.
Humans should not go too far in their addiction to denim since the taste of style is easily ruined and once a person wakes up with no idea than to wear jeans and T-shirt for his wedding party. That’s affordable but looks like a real addiction, addiction to textile as fetish.
