Celebrity Take One

Legendary 60’s rocker Mick Jagger may soon be trading the stage for the catwalk as he is to launch his own fashion label.

The aging rock star, still actively touring with The Rolling Stones, met with famed French fashion designer Christian Audinger - who was famous for revitalising brands such as Lee and Kookai, as well as the main contributor in Von Dutch’s rise to fame. They met in an office last week in Los Angeles.

Jagger isn’t the first rock star the eccentric French entrepreneur has worked with, as last year him and former Eurythmics Guitarist Dave Stewart launched a range of mens designer clothes known as the “Rock Fabulous” clothing line. That was at the “When I Move Your Move” trade show in Las Vegas, run by Audinger.

It can be seen that Jagger is looking to copy Dave Stewart, as both are good friends, with Stewart penning a number of songs for the Stones, but it’d be interesting to see whether this is a one off exercise, or whether this will be a change in career for the rocker, now that the touring for a number of years is beginning to take it’s toll (Jagger will celebrate his 66th birthday this year). No word on when (or even if) the new range will be launched, or indeed what it will contain, but you can be sure that with Jagger (and more importantly his army of fans) behind it, it will be a rip roaring success.

Ironically, whilst Mick is setting his eyes on becoming a fashion designer, his daughter - fashion designer Jade Jagger - is trading her sewing machine for a microphone as she embarks on a career in music.

She has set up a music, fashion and art production company, called Jezebel (her middle name), after quitting her designer jewellry job just before Christmas.

Maybe they can exchange tips on each other’s careers?
