Question

Who was the first designer to use studs as a mean of reinforcing the seams on workpants?

• A. Giorgio Armani
• B. Donna Karan
• C. Karl Lagerfeld
• D. Levi Strauss

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct answer is (4) Levi Strauss.

Levi Strauss is credited with inventing the use of studs (or rivets) to reinforce the seams of work pants, specifically jeans, in the 19th century. This innovation helped make the pants more durable for miners and laborers, preventing the pockets from ripping and improving the strength of the fabric. Levi Strauss's company, Levi's, became famous for these durable denim jeans, which are still popular today.

Let's review the other options:

(1) Giorgio Armani: Giorgio Armani is an Italian designer known for his luxury fashion, but he is not associated with the invention of studs or rivets in work pants.

(2) Donna Karan: Donna Karan is an American fashion designer, known for her women's wear collections, but she is not the one who used studs in work pants.

(3) Karl Lagerfeld: Karl Lagerfeld was the creative director for Chanel and other luxury brands, but he did not invent the use of studs in work pants.

Thus, Levi Strauss (option 4) was the first designer to use studs as a means of reinforcing seams on work pants, making (4) Levi Strauss the correct answer.
