Denim has long been used for more than jeans, with designers incorporating the material into handbags and footwear.
Even beyond fashion, denim has found a place in art pieces and everyday objects. The versatility of the fabric is on display in the exhibit “Denim – stylish, practical, timeless,” up now through April 5, 2021 at the Spielzeug Welten Museum Basel.
Curated in partnership with Liza Snook, founder of the Virtual Shoe Museum, the exhibit features approximately 125 objects on loan from museums, private collections and artists. Among the installations on view is Carved in Blue’s very own ‘Hardwear’ TENCEL™ Denim workwear jean from Candiani and Endrime, as well as Ian Berry’s The Secret Garden, which recreates flora in denim.
