A word about blue jeans, which, when I was growing up, were called dungarees, one of the more unfortunate marketing ideas of our time: Starting as a work garment for miners, the ubiquitous blue jeans became a staple of the counterculture starting when Brando wore them in 'On the Waterfront' and remained so through the anti-war protests of the '70s.

American Politician

Miranda Hart

I spent my childhood clad in 1970s hand-me-downs, primarily from male cousins, which mainly consisted of a selection of beige, brown and orange dungarees. That, combined with a perfectly round pudding-bowl haircut, made me look, on a good day, like a cross between Ann Widdecombe, one of the Flower Pot Men, and a monk.

Maxine Peake

I went to Salford Tech. They did a two-year performing arts course. I went there singing and dancing - I had a terrible time. I turned up in green dungarees and German power boots. I was into prog rock at the time - Gong and Hawkwind - and I was clumping around.

Jenny Eclair

After graduating from flares and platforms in the early 1970s, I started drama school wearing a pair of khaki dungarees with one of my Dad's Army shirts, accessorised by a cat's basket doubling as a handbag. Very Lady Gaga.

I have five siblings, so my mom was always pregnant, and she would wear these dungarees that looked so cool.

By far the best dressing up outfit I ever had was a wonderful pair of clown dungarees, which my Granny made.

English Royalty

I was a tomboy. I had a pudding-bowl haircut; I wore big Doc Martens and dungarees.

If I'm just in dungarees, I don't think I would intimidate anyone.

I live in dungarees, and I love denim - I wear denim shirts a lot.

Children's Attire

 Mixing African materials, such as we have, with materials from elsewhere. So, she'll make a little pair of dungarees with corduroys, with African material mixed in. Very creative designs,
