'Serge de Nimes' focuses on reconstructing one type of garment that has remained in fashion since their invention in the late 19th century. They are one of the most popular clothing items ever made and are truly a 'modern classic'- the trusty pair of jeans. Found in the wardrobes of teenagers, grandmothers, anarchists, politicians, rock stars and the working class the world over, jeans tell the story of the wearer as they soften and fade with age and life.
