  Denim on stage

  University meets industry at Denim City in Amsterdam

  The aim of this one-day conference is to explore the evolution of denim from its origins in the French town of Nîmes, through the American invention of the modern blue jeans, to the contemporary global manufacturing and marketing of denim and jeans. Blue denim jeans are the most worn garments in the world. Even though denim is often perceived as a symbol of American culture, the denim fabric originated in Europe and has a long history. Yet it was only when denim trousers were riveted that the first modern pair of jeans were created in the late XIX^th century. Since this invention, jeans have made grand transformations from a worker’s garment, through a uniform of non-conformity and youth protest, to an item of fashion design. Recently, the Netherlands has become an international marketing cluster for the global denim industry.

C’est cette tension entre innovation et standardisation qui sera abordée au cours du séminaire, en interrogeant plus particulièrement les pratiques des intervenants qui soutiennent, de diverses façons, l’innovation bioalimentaire.
