Georgia May Jagger
At the tender age of 17, Georgia May Jagger is already being hailed as a style icon. Recently signed to London’s TESS management which also represents her mother and older sister Elizabeth Jagger, Georgia starred in the latest Hudson Jeans’ advertising campaign, and has also graced the front cover of the most recent issue of fashion bible Vogue UK magazine, shot by renowned photographer Mario Testino. Blessed with the genetic dream team of Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger, she has cultivated her own unique style. Founded on her perfect pout and trademark gap-toothed smile her striking look has those in the know touting her as the one to watch, already gracing the pages of style bibles Vogue, Dazed and Confused, i-D and Love magazine. Until now Georgia has mainly been focussing on studying for Sociology, Photography and Fine Arts A-Levels. School comes first and she only works at weekends and during the school holidays. Currently dating Dave Stewart’s son - Django James, Georgia is the style crowd’s go-to girl of the moment. She is widely quoted as having a unique and distinct personal style, alongside a warm and ‘dead normal’ personality. With i-D declaring her ‘a young Bridget Bardot’, this is Georgia May Jaggers moment - watch this space!
Coco Rocha
Coco Rocha’s career began when she was spotted by a modeling scout at an Irish dancing competition. Soon after, a meeting with world-renowned photographer Steven Meisel would lead to the cover of the March 2006 issue of Vogue Italia, and there began her meteoric rise into fashion.
In her short career, she has worked with leading photographers in the industry and her advertising campaigns include the new CK ONE Fragrance, Balenciaga, Lanvin, Dolce & Gabbana, Tommy Hilfiger, The Gap and Liz Claiborne NY.
In addition to her advertising and runway work, Coco is frequently featured in the pages of top fashion magazines around the world including the many editions of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, W, Numero and V and has graced many covers such as Vogue and Dazed & Confused. Coco recently collaborated with E! Canada as host for a NY Fashion Week special scheduled to air in May 2009.
A resident of New York City, Coco spends her free time with her family, volunteering for charities such as the Children’s Aid Society and Irish dancing.
