Georgia May Jagger has admitted she’s very “precious” about clothes she borrows from her model mother Jerry Hall after her sister Lizzy Jagger lost some of her collection in a house fire.
Georgia May Jagger is “precious” about mother Jerry Hall’s clothes after Lizzy Jagger lost some of her collection in a house fire.
The 33-year-old model – whose father is Rolling Stones legend Sir Mick Jagger – admits she loves borrowing pieces from the veteran model’s archives but she’s worried about misplacing or ruining them after a number of items by designer Antony Price were destroyed when a blaze broke out at the home of Georgia’s sister Lizzy back in 2017.
Georgia told Grazia magazine: “I also have a lot of Mugler stuff and my mum’s old suits, some YSL. I’m very lucky, I’ve been wearing her stuff a lot.
“I’ve been getting them mended. I’m trying to put beads back on one that’s got some missing.
“My sister had a fire in her house and lost some of the Antony Price stuff, so I feel very precious about it. When I moved [back to London from the US ] I hand carried the suitcase with her clothes in it.”
Georgia is the new face of Marks and Spencers – modelling the brand’s new collaborative collection with 16Arlington – and she has enjoyed trying on all the pieces as it’s helped her “feel good” again a year after becoming a first time mother to her son Dean.
She said: “The shirts are so obviously the 16Arlington cut; I love them. The strapless dress with all the beading at the bottom is amazing, the way it fits with the boning in it just makes you feel really good …
“For me to be able to try everything on and feel very good in myself is something that’s quite hard to find. I never really did maternity dressing, I just wore stuff more oversized.
“I’m happy to be back into wearing short things and feeling like I can dress up and go out again.”
Georgia previously revealed she has been buying back all her mother vintage clothes which were sold off to raise money for charity.
She has managed to get her hands on several items worn by the 69-year-old former model, including Thierry Mugler and Bruce Oldfield gowns, but she is not done yet.
Speaking on British Vogue’s ‘The Closet Digest’ podcast, she said: “I’ve always – I think because of my mum – been really interested in dressing up, vintage clothes.
“[My mum] has a real love of sparkly things and amazing dresses, wearing full make-up and everything like that. She’s Texan and I think it’s always been a part of how I’ve been raised.”
Georgia doesn’t just collect the garments; she wears them too. She said: “I have about a dozen pieces of hers that I hold on to and really love wearing.”
Jerry auctioned off a large collection of vintage pieces at a charity auction in 2008, and her daughter wants to own them all.
She said: “This is my way of saying if you have any of my mum’s vintage clothes, I will buy them off you.”
The catwalk beauty also recalled one of Jerry’s Vivienne Westwood jackets going missing from her hotel room and being returned two months later stinking of tobacco.
She shared: “I was out for the day and when I came back, it was gone. And in the closet hanging in its place was a big blue fake-fur teddy jacket.
“Two months later, [the hotel] calls me at like 10 at night, and they’re like, ‘We have your jacket.’ It was crumpled up and stank of cigarettes – I think somebody had had a really good time in it!”
