I love my jeans. Nothing probably that unique there, but I love how versatile this one simple item of clothing can be. A good pair of jeans is probably one of the most forgiving items of clothing around, and they work day or night, summer or winter. The great Yves Saint Laurent himself famously stated that he wished he had been the one to design jeans. So here are my top picks in both men's and women's jeans for this winter.
Being down under and out of step seasonally with the northern hemisphere offers us one advantage - we can plan ahead a bit with our looks. Right now faded, vintage style jeans are making a huge comeback for summer 2008 in the US and Europe. Jeans are the kind of thing that just get better with age, so I say why not get in early? With the shift away from the dark denim that has been hugely popular the last few years why not buy a pair of faded jeans to 'wear in' for this summer.

Here are my favourite Australian designer jeans for women:




Ksubi - Super Skinny Jeans (vintage indigo)




Sass & Bide - New Worlds of Art (quadra drive)




Alice McCall - First to Dance Skinny Jeans




Nobody - Relaxed Bootleg




18th Amendment - Lollobrigida Jeans
