Demin Era

Skinny Jeans

The denim trend began way back to 1853 when Levi Strauss found a gap in the market for miners and designed the ‘Denim Blue Jeans’.  Who would have known denim would become a timeless material used by all designers for nearly 150 years?!  The skinny jean design arrived in stores in the 1950’s and has never really left – the things that did change were how they were worn and what they were worn with. The 50’s saw them rolled up at the bottom and worn by celebrities such as Elvis Presley and James Dean. The 60’s saw them worn with heels. They went through a quiet period in the 70’s but they flew back in during the 80’s and have been at the height of fashion ever since.

Today – double denim is the trickiest and most controversial trend – you either love it or hate it. With Chloe, Ralph Lauren and Twenty8Twelve all gave good double denim on their spring/summer 2010 catwalk; below we can see Alex Chung snapped by Vogue sporting the double denim look ever so well.

Kate Moss brought out her own clothing range for Topshop and in her 2010 summer collection she added skinny jeans to her collection at a reasonable price of £70.00.

J Brand – well known for their skinny jeans, worn by celebrities such as Cheryl Cole and Eva Longoria price their skinnies at a purse busting £200.
