Denim on Denim by Denimu
La crisis golpea a (casi) todos por igual, pero mientras unos se lamentan, otros se reinventan. Ian Berry, director de arte británico, eligió lo segundo cuando perdió su empleo en plena recesión. Sin dejar de lado el mundo artístico que era lo que le llenaba y sabía hacer, decidió cambiar el chip y buscarse la vida de otra manera.
¿Cómo? Utilizando (o más bien reutilizando) vaqueros usados de colores y tonalidades diferentes para crear obras de arte. Obras nunca vistas que recrean paisajes urbanos, retratos o escenas del día a día.
Crisis hits (almost) everyone, but while some complain, others try to reinvented themselves. Ian Berry, British art director, chose the latter when he lost his job owing to the recession. Without neglecting the artistic world what he was born to, he decided to change his mind and do something different for make a living. How? using old jeans in different colors and shades to create works of art. A new art forms never seen before that recreate cityscapes, portraits or day a day scenes.
En lugar de paleta de color, Ian confecciona su paleta "denim" recortando pequeños trozos de cada parte del pantalón, según la tonalidad que busque y aplicando legía cuando necesita una variante más drástica. Después los encola y el resultado son lienzos que, de lejos, tal vez parezcan pintura pero de cerca (o con lupa como he hecho yo) te dejan con la boca abierta por su maravilloso espectro de texturas.

Instead of color palette, Ian manufactures its own "denim palette " by cutting small pieces of each part of the pants, according to the tone he is looking for. Sometimes he applies lye when needs a more drastic variation. After gluing them the result are canvases seen as painting from far but up close (or very closely as I did) will leave you speechless by the wonderful range of textures they have.
Aficionados del arte por todo el mundo y prensa internacional ya conocen el ingenio de este joven británico de 28 años que ha sabido ver en los hoy tan famosos "denim" un nicho de mercado - sus obras se venden hasta por 4,500 libras cada una - más allá de la simple moda.
Worldwide art fans and international press already know of this young british talent - 28 years old- that saw in the now so famous "denim" a new niche market - their works sell for up to 4.500 pounds each - more beyond traditional fashion.

Denim, el otro patito feo | Denim, the other ugly duckling
Nació para vestir marineros y hoy domina la calle y las pasarelas. La historia del vaquero me recuerda a la del "Patito feo", nadie hubiera dicho que, al crecer y madurar, se convertiría en lo que es actualmente. Un tejido maravilloso, de inmensas posibilidades e imprescindible en nuestro armario.
It was born to dress up
sailors and today is the king of
the street style and the fashion shows. Denim history reminds me
somehow
the "Ugly Duckling Tale", no one would have said that i
t would become what it's today. A must have in our dressroom.
Popularmente se cree que su procedencia es americana, pero no es así. El primer antecedente del vaquero es italiano, concretamente de la ciudad de Génova (siglo XXII). Se creó para vestir a la armada, con un pantalón que fuera resistente para el uso diario e incluso se pudiera nadar con él. Pero el archiconocido "denim", del que no paramos de hablar últimamente, es originario de Nîmes, Francia. De ahí, además de la procedencia del nombre, viene su pronunciación: "De Nimes, Denim".
Loads of people think Denim's origin is American, but that's not true. Its first antecedent is Italian, from Genova in the XXII century. It was created in order to dress up italian sailors with trousers strong enough to be used every day. But "denim", the clothing texture we can't stop talking about now, its from Nimes, France. That's the reason of its name and pronunciation.

Fue necesario mucho tiempo y un salto al continente americano para que Levi Strauss consiguiera, en 1873, la patente del vaquero tal y como lo conocemos hoy. Desde entonces, su historia no ha parado de evolucionar tanto en términos socio-culturales (en los años 50 algunos cines no permitían el acceso si se iba en vaqueros), como en cuestión de diseño (pantalones de campana, pitillos, de cintura alta, petos, minis, shorts, boyfriends...)
It was necessary a long time until Levi Strauss got, in 1873, the patent for the jeans as we know them today. Since then, its history hasn't stopped in socio-cultural terms (in the 50's some theaters didn't allow get into if people wore jeans), as well as in design aspects: bell jeans, skinny, shorts, boyfriends...)

Será su polivalencia, será su azul índigo... la realidad es que el vaquero ha colonizado buena parte de nuestros looks diarios, haciendo del tejido denim un gran aliado. No sólo para seguir evolucionando con él y sus infinitas declinaciones, sino para combinarlo con todo y para todo.
Maybe its versatility, maybe its indigo blue ... the truth is that denim has colonized much of our daily looks. Not only to grow up with it and its infinite declensions, but to mix it with anything and for any ocassion.
With my fav denim pieces and the way I mix them, I shout: Long live the denim!
