Summary: Designer jeans began with Jordache in 1978. Thus began the “brand name craze” in the jean industry that still exists today. Before this fashion milestone, jeans were predominantly work-wear. Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis sought the patent for what we now think of as blue jeans, denim pants with a zipper that are reinforced with copper rivets, in 1873. Jeans were used for laborers and factory workers until becoming a counter-culture fashion in the 1950s and 60s, considered unfit for many public restaurants, cinemas, schools, and businesses. Jordache found a new use for the clothing item, quickly followed by dozens of companies, and brought jeans to the level of high fashion. A pair of blue jeans (as if such high-fashion items could still be called “jeans” at all) in Diesel’s recently launched Black Gold line will cost upwards of $400-$1000. In today’s department stores and fashion boutiques, designer jeans can be purchased for a range of prices, starting at around $100.

In this free video series, an experienced fashion designer and clothing care expert will demonstrate how to wear and care for denim jeans. Learn to shop for jeans, make jeans softer and wear in a new pair of jeans. Get tips on how to customize jeans, patch jeans and make jeans look vintage. If jeans are a staple in your closet, learn everything there is to know about caring for and wearing jeans from an expert.
