Denim is much more than a trend; it is a symbol of style that has become a timeless icon and a key fabric in Stradivarius collections.
This season, a selection of the brand’s jeans feature a “D” label on the back This “D” celebrates the authenticity and versatility of denim and invites us to explore its evolution through the decades because each letter is paired with a number that references the historical decade Stradivarius has drawn inspiration from to design each fit.
In the 1970s, high-rise jeans with fitted waists and wide legs took center stage Inspired by this era, key styles include the D71 Wide Flare with a wide cut, feminine style, and cinched waist, the D72 Bootcut, mid-rise and slightly flared, the D74 Flare Slit, designed to elongate the silhouette, the D76 Flare Jegging made from stretch fabric, the D77 Minimal Pockets with a dressy style, and the D78 Cropped Flare, high-rise, flared, and ankle-length.
In the 1980s, washed-out effects, varied finishes, and oversized fits became popular Stradivarius draws inspiration from this decade to design the D82 Balloon Fit, a low-rise jean with a wide, curved leg.
In the 1990s, straight-leg jeans gained popularity as denim embraced a more urban identity Stradivarius introduces the D92 Straight Wide, a highly versatile, wide, mid-rise fit, the D96 Straight Cropped, a wardrobe essential, the D98 Straight, slim through the leg and waist and a viral hit on social media, and the D99 Wide Straight Loose, with a relaxed waist and skater aesthetic.
In the 2000s, streetwear aesthetics with embroidery, decorative details, and fitted silhouettes dominated denim trends Stradivarius designs the D04 Flare Low, a low-rise jean crafted from stretch fabric to commemorate this era.
