It's a testament to a good photo - and a great pair of pants - that Vanessa Jackman makes me want to get my legs into a pair of trousers, stat. I am a skirt girl through and through, but after seeing such a host of leggy girls traipse through Rosemount Australian Fashion Week in a variety of heart-palpitating inducing pants, it's almost enough to turn me. Vanessa's photos just might tip the balance. I love the drapey, slouchiness of the first girl's black tapered number. I loooove that deep, indigo blue of the second girl's jeans. That army green on the third girl is my favourite colour, the perfect foil to grey and lace. And the fourth girl's simple black straight legs are a basic often underestimated today. I used to have these fantasies of being an Audrey Hepburn-esque character in Funny Face, all black cords and black boatnecks, but then realising I had neither the grace nor the body of Audrey I was quickly dissuaded. Skirts seemed and easier option - even when you wear them at a midi length like I do. However seeing all these pictures is changing my mind, I think. There are many different ways to wear pants, and Vanessa is showing me the way!
