Each spring, she finds herself on everything: pants, shoes, bags, highs and even hats! Here’s how to wear it as well as Lady Di.
Spring is the start of a new fashion season. In the closet ski and boots combinations, the trend is with light and colorful outfits. But above all, it’s time to highlight this fabric that lives all year round and that makes sense in spring and summer.
At the start, he did not have great value. It was originally created for minors and cowboys, being robust. Then, like the leather jacket, Hollywood made it romantic by making it carried by actors such as John Wayne and Gary Cooper. Gradually, he has gained popularity, until it was worn today!
We obviously talk about denim! This fabric of several hundred years old is always at the heart of the debates: we still do not know exactly where it comes from. Some people think that he was invented in France from the 16th century, by a certain Tégé de Nîmes, who would have given his name to the denim. However, it was also found in England years later. Is it the French fabric that crossed the English Channel or an English fabric with the same name? We will probably never know. What is certain is that denim became fashionable thanks to Levi Strauss, who created the first denim jeans in 1873 and the essential Blue Jeans in 1890, of which Yves Saint Laurent was a fan. He will even say: “I would have liked to invent the Blue-Jean“.
Denim has become timeless. Whether on jeans, jackets, pumps, bobs or even bags, this material is timeless. Everyone carried it: Audrey Hepburn, Brooke Shields, Cindy Crawford, Jane Birkin, Marilyn Monroe … as well as more recent stars like Britney Spears and Cindy Crawford. But also royalty! Lady Di was a big fan: she wore denim every day.
This cotton textile has always been fashionable, and has occupied a place of choice in the Y2K trend in the 2000s. But who would have thought that denim would have its place on the podiums of haute couture? And yet, emblematic pieces like the “L’Ecume des Jours” dress by Jean-Paul Gaultier were designed from Denim! “”Denim is one of the oldest fabrics in the world, and yet it remains eternally young. “indicated an author of the magazine American Fabrics in 1969.
So come out your denim jacket, and do not hesitate to recreate total denim looks, with this material from head to toe: this is the trend of each spring!
