Besides being a fashion staple in everyone’s wardrobe, jeans are an industry in itself. It is a universal trend that takes over our daily outfits, as well as our more luxurious looks. But have we ever wondered about the history that lies behind this rebellious piece?

This book counts the story and culture of denim; who created jeans, their true origins and the independent designers and makers that take over the denim scene, such as 3sixteen, Iron Heart and Levi’s. It gives you an overview of this much-coveted piece and the designers that are reigning the industry. In addition to this cultural history, this book teaches you how to wash your jeans, how denim is made and how it reflects our true self.

An iconic garment in its own right, jeans are never out of fashion, they are and will be – at least in the near future – a trend to master.
