Jean, l’exposition qui célèbre le jean sous toute ses coutures
- A fascinating history of Jean at the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie
- A cult object, it is now the most worn garment in the world. More than 70 jeans are sold per second worldwide…
- Originally used as overalls (since the end of the 19th century), then popularized by the cinema around the 50s, it is now essential
- In a setting reminiscent of a large industrial sewing workshop and through six thematic areas, games, immersive films, manipulations and multimedia devices allow you to explore the other side of jeans
- The Jean exhibition gives a great deal of space to fashion, with a large connected workshop that allows you to see the models of the great couturiers and also to transform yourself into a model walking on a catwalk
- But the exhibition is held at the Cité des Sciences and the technical dimension of the manufacture of jeans is analyzed here to see how to achieve an eco-responsible jeans. How can we manufacture jeans in quantity, quality, at an affordable cost, while respecting the environment?
