DiffusionDuring WWII jeans were introduced to the world by American soldiers, who sometimes wore them when they were off duty. In the 1950's, denim became popular with young people. It was the symbol of the teenage rebel on T.V. and in movies. Some schools banned the wearing of jeans.

Acculturation

Different styles of jeans were made to match the 60's fashions. In many non-western countries, jeans became a symbol of “western decadence” and were very hard to get. In the summer of '99Tom Ford's feathered, beaded, beat-up, torn-knee Gucci blue jeans,

seen globally, sell out instantaneously at $3715 a pop.
