The Origin of Denim: From Sails to Fashion Stage
When it comes to the origin of denim clothing, we must first start with the origin of denim. Denim, also known as denim in English. The origin of this name is actually a bit convoluted.
Five hundred years ago, when Columbus discovered the New World, this tough and durable rough fabric had already existed. At that time, it was mainly used to make sails for ships. Because this fabric originated from the small town of Nimes in France, it was named "Serge De Nimes" at that time.
This twill serge fabric later spread to England. The pronunciation of "Serge De Nimes" by British merchants is not very convenient, so they simplified it to Denim, which is what we now call denim. Sometimes it is also transliterated as Danning.
Denim actually means coarse twill cotton fabric, but now it is not just a name for a fabric. Denim clothing and accessories made of denim fabric are indispensable to movie stars, the younger generation, and fashion designers. Denim is one of the oldest fabrics, because of denim clothing, it is forever young and timeless.
