Shopping: Hudson by Georgia May Jagger jeans
It seems only fitting that model Georgia May Jagger, daughter of rock royal Mick Jagger and model-fashion muse Jerry Hall, has created a line of jeans so lean and mean they’re practically sneering.
Her new capsule collection for Hudson Jeans, Hudson by Georgia May Jagger, was inspired by Hall’s collection of midrise Wrangler jeans from the ‘70s, along with the hard-partying boys of ‘80s heavy-metal band Guns N’ Roses. (Denim style names include “ Slash,” “Axl” and “Guns.”)
The super-skinny jeans, which include a pull-on jeggings-style look, are accented with rocker details such as lace-ups and chunky zippers that accent hems and run up the length of the leg.
But as sexy as the collection is, “I wanted to design a line that is flattering to the female form,” says Jagger, noting the body-friendly mid-rise that runs through the line. “I don’t like when jeans are too low-rise.”
And though each jean in the collection essentially riffs off a single, simple skinny style that begs to be teamed with a pair of sky-high heels, the line features a wide variety of washes — black, blue, gray, white and a highly pigmented “black sateen” hue.
Jagger, who’s been the face of Hudson jeans for two years, said the company “often asked for my opinion on shoots. And I wear the jeans almost every day, so I had a lot of ideas regarding fit and details…. I was excited that they encouraged me to submit sketches and gave me so much creative freedom.”
Benjamin Taverniti, creative director for Hudson, said Jagger “has a keen understanding of fashion and knows what the customer wants.” He added, “Her personal style is effortlessly cool and rock ‘n’ roll chic, which aligns perfectly with our brand. The collaboration … just felt right.”
The collection ranges from $176 for a pull-on jean with an ankle-zip detail to $308 for the “Slash,” a jet-black jean that laces from ankle to hip.
The Hudson by Georgia May Jagger collection is available at https://www.hudsonjeans.com and Neiman Marcus. Jagger will be making an appearance from 3 to 4 p.m. this Thursday at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills to promote the collection.
