Denim is a simple fabric, dating back to 18th-century France. The fabric originated from humble beginnings as workwear in 19th-century America, through its love affair with 1940s Hollywood, by the adoption by a rebellious generation of teenagers in the 1950s right up to its subsequent spread throughout a world hungry for this symbol of American cool. "Denim" describes the evolution of the denim business, from pioneering brands like Levi's, Lee and Wrangler to its use by high fashion houses such as Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. Denim depicts the material's infiltration of subcultures such as 50s motorcycle rebels, the London mod scene of 1965, Woodstock era youth and LA hip hop. I think you would be lucky if you found that your latest thrift-store jeans purchase could be a vintage rarity that's going to be worth a fortune.
