What do they mean to us?

Almost everybody owns at least one pair of jeans  and they're as likely to be worn by a fashion conscious celebrity, as the local builder. So what is it about jeans? What kind of statement are we making when we put on a pair? Why do they inspire such love and hate? And why, if you’re not tall and skinny, is it so extraordinarily difficulty to find jeans that fit? Jane talks to Penny Martin from the London College of Fashion and Hilary Alexander, fashion director at the Daily Telegraph.
