Jade Jagger = Fashion Victim
Tiffany Hancock on Jade Jagger's mix of celebrity glitz and bohemian wildness
She is a fascinating genetic mix. Combine one legendarily promiscuous English rock star with a feisty Nicaraguan human rights campaigner and what do you get? Jade Jezebel Jagger. A lot of attitude and little regard for convention.
'Indestructible self-confidence'Although she is not your stereotypical show-stopper (she lacks the height and the razor-sharp cheekbones), it is Jade's indestructible self-confidence that lends her a certain je ne sais quoi, intriguing both the men and women who surround her. She may not have the perfect figure, but she will wear what the devil she wants, be it a ludicrously short mini or a cleavage-flashing slinky top. In fact, she is also known to be fond of wearing nothing at all, as the paparazzi pictures of her on an Ibiza beach a few years ago would testify.
Unlike many of her peers, she is comfortable in her own skin, recently remarking: "I'd love to be thinner, but I love to eat more than I love to be thin." This is a woman who denies herself nothing, be it puddings or lovers. Like her father, she shows little regard for monogamy, instead declaring: "I think I am far too independent to be seen as some kind of married woman."
Yet, when it comes to family life, Jade appears to have done things backwards. By the age of 22, she was married (to the artist Piers Jackson) with two children, Amba, now 13, and Assisi, now 10. While she enjoyed the solidity of a family unit, it was not to last. Since splitting from Jackson, she has dallied her way through a mixture of rap artists, including Pharrell Williams, and aristocrat Dan Macmillan.
Her home, however, has remained constant. For the past eight years, her main residence has been an eco-friendly, 18th-century farmhouse in Ibiza, complete with goats and an organic vegetable garden.
Although she knows how to do the glitz for celebrity parties, she is very much a bohemian at heart. Her hair is rarely brushed and always loose, and she wears little make-up. Instead, she relies on her honey-coloured skin tone, green eyes and trademark Jagger lips for glamour. Hers is a natural sexiness (think bra-less, not Wonderbra).
But, in recent months, her idyllic island lifestyle has ended and she has moved to London for her children's schooling. Her work commitments have also become more demanding. She was appointed the creative director at Garrard three-and-a-half years ago and is collaborating with a property development company YOO, designing their interiors.
Despite being a rock-star offspring, Jade has never been a slacker, instead taking pride in her financial self-sufficiency. Her latest venture at Garrard aims to convince rap royalty that pearls are the latest in bling accessories. It won't be an easy task, but Jade has a knack of accomplishing the apparently unfeasible. Mother, celebrity, DJ (in Ibiza's Pacha nightclub), jewellery designer and international interiors adviser, this stone is still rolling.
