Amazingly, denim breeches were worn as early as 1703, and the first ‘jeans’ from the 1840s onwards. The word denim comes from ‘serge de Nîmes’ (literally meaning fabric from Nîmes); whilst ‘jean’ derives from sailors’ pants worn by the Genoese navy. Children started wearing jeans in the Fifties, but the look really took off in the Seventies with the bell bottoms and skinny-jean-and-jacket combo that was the denim suit. Today, jeans are a staple in the wardrobe of every child and even newborns wear fetching Red Tab Levi’s.

I can suggest some reputable model agencies, if you would like:

Elliott Brown and Mustard are the biggest names, and they have found TV spots for some of their charges.

If you want to know more, let me know.

Regards,

Francis
