Georgia May Jagger Launches Jeans Collection in L.A.

The 19-year-old daughter of model Jerry Hall and rock legend Mick Jagger recently launched her own line of jeans in partnership with Hudson Jeans, with whom she has modeled since 2009.


Though her celebrity fashion style in London leans toward 'rocker chic', Jagger chose a less edgy look in L.A., going for a fresh, California girl look.


She chose white skinny jeans from the collection, red shoes, and a peach colored strapless top to the event at a Neiman Marcus department store.


Hudson's creative director Benjamin Taverniti worked with Jagger's entree into the fashion industry. She made sketches and chose materials, washes, and other details for the line of jeans. She has had product launches so far in Paris, London, and now Los Angeles.

Tip - Be sure to leave enough room at the bottom to get them on and off.


Step 3 - Repeat on the other leg


Step 4 - On a sewing machine or by hand, take your jeans in by sewing alongside the pins.


Step 5 - When you're finished, try them on right side out and make sure they fit correctly. You can then cut away the excess material.

TGIF Fashion!

This content series post is brought to you by Nordstrom

Friday means you've almost made it to the weekend and casual Friday means you won't even have to go home and change before hitting happy hour! While the rest of the week is tailored for tailor-made, Friday (at most office spaces) means you can loosen it up a tad and express a little bit of your own personal style.

One of the biggest suggestions to making casual Fridays work, is to find balance between cool, comfort and professionalism i.e. leave the pajamas and the runways out of the boardroom!

The SHG - The Lighter Side Of Denim

The Stylehive Guide

Denim and jeans have long been an American staple and these days, they've gone global and designer, with jeans going from weekend wear to night-out essentials! It wasn't too long ago that tapered jeans and ankle grazing lengths were considered the epitome of dork-dom. Then we were told that low-rise and tapered jeans (re-named: the skinny leg) were not only ok, they were the cool denim cut and anything too flared or baggy was now the new geeks-ville.

But like the ever-swinging pendulum that fashion is, it looks like it's swung back to the flared, light-wash, looser-fit look and it's catching on like fire! Sure, darker washes are still edgy, skinny fits are still flattering and a lower-rise is still sexy, but for those who want to be truly stylish, lighter wash denims and flared or bootcut legs are the new 'it' factors when it comes to rocking our fave jeans.

Whether you're going for a light-wash cigarette style, a faded-blue boyfriend cut or a fashionable flared leg, we've found some affordable faves to suit any denim need (just remember to steer clear of the super low rise!). Not a fan of denim pants? The new lighter wash is just as chic on a trendy denim shirt, a cropped vest or even a sweet skirt or dress. Click on the slideshow to see our picks!
