It’s not everyday that a fashion designer can boast of a postage stamp created in their honour.

But Jenny Bannister can.

Her name is synonymous with high end formal wear that is visually distinctive, playful and edgy.

Why religion is very fashionable

It seems fitting that for a fashion blog which worships fashion, that Girl in 3184 loves True Religion jeans.

Recently I had the not pleasant task of jeans shopping (a new pair of sass and bides were desperately needed). I selected Green With Envy, Bridge Rd Richmond with trepidation, and tried to ignore the lithe beauties combing carefully through the designer clustered racks.

The effervescent sales assistant was keen for a sale, and presented me with every label in shop, including S&B, Nobody, 18th Amendment and True Religion.

From skinny leg, straight leg, wide leg, low waist high waist, I tried on everything. After 20 minutes, breathless from sucking in my stomach, I came across a pair of faded skinny jeans with thick white stitching. As soon as my right foot poked through the ankle, I knew I had found gold. I zipped myself up and dashed toward the communal mirror. It was love at first sight. My legs were long and skinny, my hips curvy and sexy. But most of all I looked thin.. Very thin. Sold, I flipped over the price tag. $547. I did a double take. These jeans were worth several days’ work, and I realized sadly I’d have no justification when my boyfriend demanded what “Green With Envy” was on my credit card statement.

After minutes of deliberation – yes I was contemplating spending over $500 on a pair of jeans, I bought what I had come for. A pair of high waisted Sass & Bide skinnies. At half the price.
