Abstract
This bachelor thesis studies a specific recurring trend from the 1990’s, which in this case is exemplified as dungarees, or as more commonly used, overalls.

This bachelor thesis studies a specific recurring trend from the 1990’s, which in this case is exemplified as dungarees, or as more commonly used, overalls.

The background will testament to the history of the dungarees as a utility garment, as well as presenting several platforms and events in popular culture where the trend is and has been occurring. The methodological and theoretical framework will have it’s position
within semiotics and will mainly be based on the theories of Roland Barthes and his fashion system with assistance from Gillian Rose model of sites and modalities for interpreting visual materials. The study will show results such as how these signs and codes can be interpreted in relation to a recurring trend via an image analysis and how our social practices and structures correlates with our denotations and connotations.
