“I wear jeans all the time...I have…all kinds of jeans. I love jeans”. Gwyneth Paltrow is a big jeans fan. Jeans are a must-have fashion accessory. They’ve changed style many times over the years, but have always bounced back. Not bad going for a piece of clothing originally designed to keep miners clean in the US about 150 years ago.
