As we all know, denim denotes Stateside people even though it originated in France. Along came the US and adopted it as a work fabric. Farmers and cowboys especially loved it. As I recall, in my teen years, we trooped down across the Canadian border that is not "an imaginary line", to buy jeans. Jeans were made of denim, a US "thing". The other day, paging onto THE online fashion magazine that is usually the site of the most ridiculous looking garments you can imagine, and is also the nouveau movie mag to view fakery glam faces smiling through their implants. I saw a photo titled "The Canadian Tuxeo". The actress in the photo was wearing "The Canadian Tux" that from top to bottom, was a rather boring two piece pant suit of light blue denim. I suppose it was thought to be yet another insult to Canadians as is part of a current trend by our former allies. After unsubscribing to this large and mostly useless to the average person, magazine online, I looked up the term, "denim". As it turns out, whoever wrote the article obviously had no idea that denim was adopted by the US as its favorite work suit. Not Canadians. The writer needs a heads up and advice to please research before publishing. I am not into the curret tariff war, but this outlet for fashion that only the very rich can afford, has obviously entered into the fray. Seeing who publishes the fash mag, makes it abundantly clear why this goofy article got past the editor of the mag, if there is an editor. There certainly are a host of photographers and models in it, most of whom are movie stars. Seeing who the owners of the mag are, made it clear why the insulting caption. Cowboys love denim. Not me, not anymore.
