Georgia May Jagger is the new face of Hudson Jeans

Sneak Peek : Hudson Jeans new ad campaign is rocking out with the 17 year old daughter of Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger, Georgia. 


From the looks of the photos Hudson is about to step up the premium denim game.  
“It’s all about her genes — literally and figuratively,”  said Advertising Executive David Lipman at the shoot in an East London studio. “It’s all about the heritage of having Mick Jagger as a dad and Jerry Hall as a mum. But more than anything, it’s her spirit that captivates me.”
Lipman noted that Jagger’s English and American lineage mirrors Hudson’s brand, which has a Union Jack logo. Among the campaign images are ones of Jagger wearing denim cutoffs and lounging on a Union Jack pillow or posing in ripped, bleached jeans against the background of an elegantly disheveled apartment, complete with beat-up leather armchairs and worn afghan rugs.
Having already conquered the already overcrowded premium jean market, Hudson with the funding from its new investors  plans to expand and focus more on its non traditional jeans ( such as a ripped pair modeled by Georgia) and also on their mens line. 

Cheap Monday Womens jeans are the best basic jeans ever!

I’ve been searching for a nice pair of black jeans that i can wear all the time – to work, on the town, going out etc, and I really was having the hardest time finding something that felt right and fit comfortably.

So i decided to go to Royal Cheese( 24 rue Tiquetonne, they’re like the jeans central in Paris) on my way back from work the other evening and I was super impressed by how nice the sales people were and I ended up leaving with two pairs of Cheap Monday narrow jeans ( in black and gray) because the fit on these babies was awesome.

They were not expensive and perfect for everyday wear – I wore them to the office today with a nice crisp white Ted Baker button front shirt, Zara black vest and San marina black heels.

They’ve officially become my fave jeans!

And, I’m taking them with me tomorrow to Nice ( going to soak up some damn sun finally – so posting might be a bit sporadic for the next couple of days).

Trend Alert: Distressed Denim for Fall


Faded, distressed, ripped, destroyed, and tapered are the new crop of denim pants swinging on the legs of celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Katie Holmes.
Denim is a staple in almost any girls wardrobe;dress them up with some platform gladiators or dress them down with sneakers or ballet flats.

I think this fall we’ll be seeing many classic tailored styles (as was evident from the last fashion weeks shows), but the jeans will remains a staple piece.

Following the popularity of the denim cut off shorts trend going on right now( ie look at Rachel Bilson, Ashley Olsen and Hilary Duffy, plus the loads of fashion bloggers who are not shy to show us their daily wear – shout out to Rumi at Fashiontoast who almost has a denim short fetish bigger than Kate Moss’)

On many occasions I’ve envied her wardrobe, but I wouldn’t be able to pull it off. I must admit that I’ve never felt comfortable in really short shorts, I have really long legs( which where the subject of many childhood scuffles and besides I think they just work to lengthen your legs, which eventually makes me look like a giraffe tumbling over.

I’m already seeing loads of my fellow Parisians rocking faded denim ( can’t wait to get my camera back from Canon, to show you some pictures).

My Trend Forcast says faded jeans just like open toe booties wont be practical for fall/winter, but they’ll be all over the place.

Here are some options that, as usual, wont have you breaking the bank.
Do you think you’ll be falling into the GAP( hehehe) for this denim trend?
