Unit 3 new genre

For my last unit i talked about why are jeans so popular in the world and why are they consider such a common type of style. I thought that for this unit on picking a genre it would most likely be for anyone who is interested in it. The genre I will pick will best be put on a magazine because since we re talking about fashion it would make sense if I write an article about it there.

I thought that this topic officially made it to be great to me as an accomplishment and that’s why I wanted to touch more on things like this in the future with other classes and in my community in my free time to learn more about other things that can catch my eyes.

 

Boris Hodakel  • October 28, 2020 ” The Remarkable History Of Denim( how it became an icon in fashion)

Summary:

In this source they will describe the history on how they say it was mystery to many people since it came out of nowhere. They also mention that the whole concept of jeans and its history will make on about $129.8 billion dollars by the end of 2021 which is one of the most money any other company has made. They will also mention what denim means and who created it. They will say things like ” Initially, denim began life as a fabric known as “serge de Nimes.” As keen-eyed readers will notice, ‘de Nimes’ bears a resemblance to denim, which is what this fabric would eventually come to be known as” this will describe the denim meaning behind it.

Reflection:

Most of the things they will bring up they will be very important information. I will agree with most things they say as they will bringing facts to the table and will also back up their information, this will become very helpful. They are very serious about they products and their creations. They will bring things up like ” Interestingly enough, the initial attempt to replicate this French fabric in Italy was a failure” and mentioning that their first attempt was a failure and that they just kept trying to make it right until they actually made it right and people felt in love with it.

Quotable:

Some quotes that i really like was ” However, it was in the process of trying to do so that textile manufacturers discovered denim. At the time, the only color available was blue, which is in part thanks to the organic indigo dye which was available at the time. This is why modern jeans are primarily available in shades of blue” this quote will, explain to you why they only had jeans in the color blue and the reasons behind it. Another quote was” So, the fabric is in place. The stage is set. But it wouldn’t be for quite some time that the clothing we know as jeans would come into prominence. In 1853, a man named Levi Strauss found himself in San Francisco trying to start a branch of his family business. He sold a cotton fabric known as denim, which was picked up by a man called Jacob W. Davis” this part will show things from the beginning and its creators.

There was a comment that really open my eyes to do better on this topic. ”

I liked the way you expressed yourself and used a video I LOVE WEARING JEANS especially in legging form ! It is cool on how you mention about jeans ! Keep up the good work
I do feel that you should add about many types of jeans we have today maybe a paragraph mention the jeans that are in today and back in the days as well .

Quote “Denim jeans have been a fashion staple for many years’ This quote is trying to say that jeans has always been a part of us in fashion . Look at how jeans changed they even became jackets we wear today . I chosed this because it reminds me of it’s evolution itself” This made understand more on things I can touch on more and fix my errors or add more to it.

 

 

Insider- August 11, 2018 ” How Jeans Took Over The World”. Can find this on “YouTube”

Summary:

In this video it would explain all about the jeans and its generation. It would also talk about all the goods and bad things that come from it and how they manage to become the popular types of pants in the world. They will talk about all you need to know about jeans. This video will give a lot of information to people and educated them on this topic. They would mention on how ” Denim jeans have been a fashion staple for many years. But the way that they became an iconic piece of style history might be surprising”. This is real reliable source as well to learn  more information on it.

Reflection:

I agree with what they say in the video because as other sources describe jeans is pretty similar to it. They mostly do the same thing for all of them and its the same description. They also show an image of how they make them which is better for the view who is curious. This would come as a great example for the people who are trying to describe the process.

Quotable:

A quote that I really agree with is when they said” Fashion trends come and go, but denim are one item of clothing that will always be a staple in many closets”. Another one was when they said ” It’s the particular style of denim that changes year after year, some decades seeing a rise in baggy jeans, others full of tight, low-rise moments” this would show people that no matter what type of jeans it will still remain popular.
