Georgia May Jagger, the epitome of effortless cool and the daughter of rock royalty Mick Jagger and supermodel Jerry Hall, has inherited more than just her parents’ stunning genes. She’s also inherited a passion for vintage fashion, a love deeply rooted in her upbringing and her mother’s impeccable style. In a recent interview on British Vogue’s podcast, *The Closet Digest*, sponsored by Vinted, Jagger shared intimate details about her lifelong fascination with vintage clothing and her unique relationship with her mother’s iconic wardrobe.
“I’ve always been really interested in dressing up, vintage clothes,” Jagger confessed, attributing this passion to her mother’s influence. “[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.” This Texan flair for dramatic style has clearly left an indelible mark on Jagger’s own fashion choices.
While Jagger has enjoyed wearing many of her mother’s vintage dresses over the years, a significant portion of Hall’s wardrobe was sold in a 2008 charity auction benefiting a homeless charity. Tragically, Jagger’s older sister Lizzy lost some inherited pieces in a house fire several years ago. This loss has made Jagger even more protective of the remaining garments, cherishing the dozen or so pieces she possesses. “I have about a dozen pieces of hers that I hold on to and really love wearing,” she explained, highlighting the sentimental value attached to these treasured items.
Jagger’s love for her mother’s style extends beyond simply preserving these heirlooms. She actively seeks out and repurchases pieces her mother once owned. A prime example is a pale-blue corseted Thierry Mugler dress with a rainbow-hued skirt, which she wore to the launch of her vegan hair brand, Bleach, in Los Angeles in 2021. More recently, for Vogue World: London, Jagger unearthed the same Bruce Oldfield gown her mother famously wore during the 1990s, showcasing a remarkable continuity of style across generations.
This dedication to her mother’s style is evident in her playful approach: “This is my way of saying if you have any of my mum’s vintage clothes, I will buy them off you,” she joked. However, not all attempts to preserve these family heirlooms have been successful. One particularly humorous anecdote involves a striped Vivienne Westwood blazer that went missing from her hotel room in New York. After a frantic search, the blazer was eventually returned two months later, albeit significantly worse for wear – crumpled and smelling strongly of cigarettes, a testament to someone else’s rather memorable night!
The story of Georgia May Jagger’s relationship with her mother’s wardrobe is a testament to the enduring power of vintage fashion and the strong bond between mother and daughter. It’s a charming blend of nostalgia, humor, and a deep appreciation for the lasting impact of iconic style.
