Denim revolution
An indigo and resistant textile, five pockets, orange topstitching matched with metal rivets, a sewn label on the back and a button fly. This is the image we have of jeans, a term that refers both to the Italian fabric whose origin would be linked to the city of Genoa and to the trousers sold in the 19th century by Lévi Strauss in the United States. Protecting the weary knees of gold seekers, jeans take flight, set out to conquer a West in love with the American dream, and then dress up the whole world. Sneaking into our daily lives, it becomes a basic part of our wardrobe, a communication tool that proclaims our identity and a blue page on which creators of yesterday and today express themselves.
The floor of the pool is populated by silhouettes dressed in this fabric subjected to the test of climate, work and the gaze of others.
An exhibition to discover from October 10 to February 14, 2027
