This may be an impossible challenge.... Mariella Frostrup's trousers, please??

[lovecat]

Those of you who read the Observer magazine may know what I'm on about, there is always a big pic of her in a really nice outfit next to her problem page, and I really want some trousers like that!

Unfortunately the only pic that I can find of them online is this not very good one from this frankly quite weird blog, but from the bigger pic I look at every week (and disregard someone's pain in favour of drooling over Mariella's keks) they appear to be dark grey, wide-leggedish (well, fluid at the very least) and flat fronted... Boden mooching trousers, perchance? The material looks better quality to my (admittedly inexperienced) eye...

If anyone has the first idea what I'm wittering on about and can point me at a similar pair I'd be v. grateful

[slightlybonkers]

oh jesus that is dificult, are they jeans or trews, methinks they are j brand jeans for some reason.

I know the ones you mean and I really like them too. Gap often has pretty good trousers, although I'm sure hers are far smarter. I've also had nice trousers from Whistles - might be worth a look?

mmm not jeans they look to be linen perhaps...I too have often pondered

[cremolafoam]

these?

[nailpolish]

why not write into her problem page and ask her

[lovecat]

They do look linenish, don't they?

Cremola, those Toast ones have the shape, but they've got a front fly, whereas I think Mariella's are a side fastening (so far as I can tell from the photo).

Thanks all for the suggestions, I think I may just have to write to her

Dear Mariella... give me your trousers!!

Am off to Lakeside IKEA tomorrow so will have a nosey in GAP while I'm there to see what they've got...

[Ronaldinhio]

Lovecat if you do find out please post and tell us!!

[binkythebullet]

Oh I love those trousers too; the whole outfit in fact. If you get a response from Mariella please do share

[lovecat]

I've done it... I've asked her... ohh, I am so having emailers remorse now!

[binkythebullet]

They are gorgeous trews...well worth a few waves of shame for.

BRILLIANT
I think that I have some sort of head girl crush on her
SIGH

[binkythebullet]

she talks such sense

[missbumpy]

I reckon they're either Joseph or Nicole Farhi. Don't know why. Just a hunch.

I went out and bought Converse All Stars as a result of this photo - but I haven't got any trousers as fab as these!

did you ever get a reply - just putting the recycling out and the magazine fell open at the back page - they are lovely ...
