Q&A with Ben Taverniti About Georgia May Jagger for Hudson Jeans

I’m sure most of you guys already know that Georgia May Jagger is the face of Hudson Jeans, it’s no surprise that they’ve also tapped her to design a collection launching this spring. I’m a fan of Hudson Jeans and I’m totally looking forward to seeing the fruition of the collection. You’ve already seen one of the designs I snapped last month, here’s an interview I did with Hudson Jeans creative director, Ben Taverniti regarding the upcoming collaboration. The Georgia May Jagger for Hudson Jeans collection is scheduled to launch on hudsonjeans.com and in specialty retailers in February 2011! Can’t wait to see the full collection.

NL: How did this collaboration originate?
BT: The collaboration came about in casual conversations with Georgia-May She’s very creative and has a passion for fashion. She has a real interest in fashion, art, design, It all just seemed to ‘fit’.

NL: What are your favorite jeans in the collection?
BT: That’s a tough question. I feel like they are like children; they are all special and great in their own unique way. If I had to pick though, I would probably have to say the five pocket basic jean because it’s simple yet chic – and the washes are killer.
