Jeans and their importance in the feminist movement of the 60s and 70s
In the 1960s and 1970s, an army of brave women challenged society's norms and fought for equal rights. This feminist movement forever transformed women's fashion, turning jeans into a symbol of empowerment and liberation . At Captain Denim we pay tribute to these pioneers and teach you how to be inspired by their style.
From protests to catwalks
What began as an act of rebellion when women began wearing jeans traditionally considered "men's clothing," soon became a fashion statement. Feminine icons such as Yoko Ono, Jane Birkin and Farrah Fawcett popularized the defiant and casual denim look.
Rebellious craftsmanship with purpose
Just as those women fought against injustice, at Captain Denim we create artisanal jeans with a purpose: to empower local production, fight for workers, promote sustainability and celebrate freedom of expression through fashion. Each garment is woven with history .
