Because we’re not just about denim. Because travel and culture are necessities, not luxuries. Because style is an evolution. Because art and inspiration are around every corner. Because we love to indulge and we’re nice enough to share. Welcome to our world.
Behind the Scenes of the 3rd installment of the HUDSON CABARET. Georgia May Jagger & Au Revoir Simone (band)star in the Art Deco Collection Video coming soon.
Hudson Creative director, Ben Taverniti inspired by diamond bracelets, Faberge eggs and patterned wallpaper of the Great Gatsby era.
We are celebrating 166 years of art inspiration by Peter Carl Fabergé, best known for his Fabergé eggs. The beauty of the Faberge Egg is that something as simple as an easter egg can be transformed into a luxurious work of art.
Hudson Creative Director, Ben Taverniti has been studying the eclectic art & design styles that started really started to make an impact in the 1920′s in Paris. The Faberge Egg embodies the essence of 1920′s french art by pushing the norms of traditional art esthetic, luxurious feel and attention to detail. These factors played a huge part in Ben’s Inspiration for Hudson Jeans Fall 2012 collection.
“We wanted to take this fashion forward pieces into the denim world.” – Ben Taverniti

The Frieze art fair, arguably one of London’s biggest cultural fairs, took place again this month. Taking place in Regent’s Park the contemporary arts fair sees over 60,000 visitors making the cultural pilgrimage to discover the latest in the art world. The fair, started in 2003 by Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover, founders of Frieze magazine, showcases artists and galleries.
This year 171 major galleries from 33 countries took part, such special projects such as Frieze Film and Frieze Talks offered more participatory and interactive experiences and eight artists were commissioned to create site-specific works, including LuckyPDF (see below).
Co-directors Sharp and Slotover explained “this year we’re excited to be working with architects Carmody Groarke, who have proposed an intelligent redesign of the fair. The geographical diversity of the gallery list attests to the art world’s increasing globalisation, offering the opportunity to make discoveries as well as see work by some of the most significant artists working today.”
Here, a selection of exciting works shown at Frieze.

Thursday is technically considered the weekend, right? We’re going to have to go ahead and give that a definitive “YES!” If you’re with us on this one, keep reading.
Stationed in the Hollywood Roosevelt, the Spare Room is a modern day gaming parlour and cocktail lounge that is anything but your typical Hollywood scene. Not only does this swanky lounge feature two vintage bowling lanes amidst a sea of custom, eclectic furnishings, but this October, the fabulous Samantha Shelton (of the jazz cabaret act ’If All the Stars Were Pretty Babies’ with Zooey Deschanel) is curating a live music series every Thursday! Are you dying yet? Because we are.
Now, what to wear, what to wear? This is the perfect time to debut the new Fall/Winter collection! This line blends rock ‘n roll design with DIY flare, perfect for the retro feel of the performances. Think along the lines of the Fitted Zip Sleeve & Front Jacket paired with High Waist Skinnies. Introduce this edgy ensemble on October 27 for The Petrojvic Blasting Co. performance!
Attire: This is a hipster hangout housed in an industrial steam-punk venue! So, with that said ,dress code is not strict but they do ask you to be in “East Side lounge” attire. May we suggest our Loulou Skinny Mid Rise Trouser with a chambray top and a motor cycle jacket. (Yeah Rosie the Riveter is our inspiration. Duh.)

On 19th October Waterside Contemporary opens its Hoxton outpost. The first exhibition from the independent visual arts gallery formerly named Waterside Project Space, is entitled They Don’t Know Why, But They Keep Doing It. According to gallery founder Pierre d’Alancaisez this group exhibition explores ‘ideology in the post-ideological landscape’. Rejecting the structures ideologies assign to reality, the six artists – Grzegorz Drozd, artist duo Karen Mirza and Brad Butler, Javier Rodriguez, Konrad Smoleński, Maciek Stępiński and Radek Szlaga – present thought-provoking works in paint, installation and video. As explained by curators d’Alancaisez and Piotr Sikora, ‘the artists’ rejection of the institutionalised fuels the creation of new ideologies. They don’t know why, but they keep doing it’. Get your head round this exhibition as a warm up for the annual art fair, Frieze, taking place 13th-16th.

Got to have drink: Depending on your plan of action the wine + beers are all well crafted and distinct choices. The bartenders are very friendly and if you tell them your usual likings they can suggest a wine or beer selection for you. Try being adventurous and give something new and or local a try!
Attire: Since this is a more casual spot you might want to keep it hip and go with your Gwen wide legged Hudsons and pair with a knit top and your wooden platforms for lift. The bar stools are high (just saying).
