Ìý Blue Jeans Friday 28 November 2003 Ìý
There is probably no more versatile a material than denim - in the past 130 years what started as a humble worker's cloth became the defining fabric of the 20th Century.

It's hard to imagine its appeal ever diminishing with designers constantly coming up with new ways to make jeans fashionable.
Jennifer Chevalier looks back at the history of denim with Alice Harris, the author of The Blue Jean.
'The Blue Jean' is published by Powerhouse Cultural Entertainment Books; ISBN: 1576871509
'Denim: From Cowboys to Catwalks' by Graham Marsh and Paul Trynka, Fashion Editor June Marsh, Published by Aurum Press, ISBN: 1854107917
