The psychology, symbolism and cultural history of Denim.
In Western cultures, denim represents youthfulness and rebellion, often linked to the counterculture movements of the 1960s. However, in the fashion industry, it also conveys versatility and practicality, making it a staple across various demographics.
The term 'denim' is derived from the French 'serge de Nîmes', referencing the city of Nîmes where the fabric was originally produced in the late 17th century. The fabric gained prominence in the United States in the 1850s, thanks to Levi Strauss and his creation of sturdy trousers for gold miners.
