S\/S 17 is without doubts one of those Fashion Moments. \u00a0Many catwalk shows across the major capitals showed versions of denim for S\/S17. \u00a0Surely this recent denim resurgence on the catwalk started back in \u00a0A\/W 11 \u00a0when<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">a little known British design duo<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/\/www.marquesalmeida.com\" target=\"_blank\">Marques Almeida<\/a>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">sent an assortment of frayed denim pieces down the catwalk, presenting it to a small collection of fashion journalists and bloggers.

Because every brand in the world wants to be apart of the huge global market that is denim. \u00a0For example the global \u00a0jeans market alone was valued at $58 billion for the year 2014, and it continues to grow on account of its lifespan as compared to other everyday clothing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/\/www.marquesalmeida.com\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Marques Almedia<\/span><\/a> are not pioneers of the fashion meets denim market. \u00a0It has been strong since the idea of workwear was adopted by rebellious teenagers in the 1950&#8217;s. Then think Calvin Klein in the 80&#8217;s as another real marker- this time of \u00a0luxury fashion meets denim workwear. \u00a0However, it&#8217;s fair to say that very few designers do denim as well as the denim originators like Levis, Lee, or the British denim\u00a0instigator Lee Cooper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In 1908 Morris Cooper\u00a0created a workwear production company in a run down property in Middlesex street in London&#8217;s east end (the centre of the garment industry at that point in London) which became Lee Cooper (the brand is now recognised as Europe\u2019s first and oldest, denim brand). \u00a0It was the arrival of the First World War that saw denim enter into military clothing as brands like Lee Cooper created uniforms for troops proving denims durability and strength as a staple clothing fabric. \u00a0So began the journey of denim being woven into our everyday lives; a durable fabric that became a rebellious status symbol and then a luxury and \u00a0desirable piece of fashion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Of course the opposite of the regular trouser yet it has an equally interesting history.\u00a0Trousers are mentioned as far back as Greek mythology and even the Old Testament (Exodus \u00a028:42), yet it was not until the late 20th century that trousers became fully and totally acceptable for both men and women to wear. \u00a0What then defines a trouser? Usually a tailored garment with a zip and fitted waist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So what now? \u00a0British denim brand Lee Cooper have bought together the trouser and the jean with a capsule collection of \u00a0dark blue tailored denim jeans called The Cooper Collection. <strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0A superior line of\u00a0a selvage denim \u00a0that has a clean tailored feel to it. \u00a0 Six styles made of raw selvedge denim celebrate the culture, depth and rich archive of the brand, which pays homage to the aforementioned Morris Cooper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/lee-cooper-2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37381\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/lee-cooper-2.jpg?resize=580%2C410\" alt=\"lee-cooper-2\" width=\"580\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/lee-cooper-2.jpg?w=842&amp;ssl=1 842w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/lee-cooper-2.jpg?resize=300%2C211&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/lee-cooper-2.jpg?resize=600%2C423&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/lee-cooper-2.jpg?resize=680%2C480&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/lee-cooper-2.jpg?resize=770%2C544&amp;ssl=1 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Handmade in Italy from 15oz raw Italian selvedge denim which is rich dark inky indigo blue and then woven on authentic shuttle looms, the exclusive denim features a small 31\u201d vintage weave and cutting-edge innovations, such as a natural non-synthetic stretch in select cuts.\u00a0\u00a0All styles come fitted with 100% solid copper hardware, traditional two-piece rivets and back pockets secured with concealed rivets.
