Georgia May Jagger new face of Angel
GEORGIA MAY JAGGER has been announced as the new face of Thierry Mugler’s iconic fragrance, ANGEL, following in her mother, Jerry Hall’s footsteps.
Georgia May’s Angel campaigns will be seen later this year, almost two decades after her mum modelled for the perfume brand. “ANGEL is very connected to my childhood, and it continues to fascinate me as much as ever,” said Georgia May. “It’s very exciting to become the new face of the ANGEL woman… 19 years after my mother!”
As of July 1st 2014, Georgia May Jagger will become the latest ‘ANGEL icon’ in a long list of beautiful, strong women who have represented the iconic scent. Jerry Hall was a regular at Thierry Mugler’s couture shows, and was ANGEL’s muse from 1995 to 1997.
Gorgeous Georgia May has inherited her beauty and innate sense of glamour from her supermodel mother Jerry Hall and a rock attitude from her father Mick Jagger, and brings a refreshing new facet to the ANGEL image. Like this iconic fragrance, Georgia May shakes up the established codes, with a natural, yet sexy rock ‘n’ roll style.
Jerry Hall’s ANGEL ad…
ANGEL Eau de Parfum was launched in 1992 by Thierry Mugler, who chose French model Estelle Lefébure to be the face of this, his very first fragrance. Perched atop a New York skyscraper, wearing a black suit and enveloped in a blue muslin scarf, she began the saga that Jerry Hall continued in 1995, dressed in a silver gown, poised on the immaculate dunes of White Sands National Park in New Mexico.
In 1998, American-born Amy Wesson embodied a crystal angel echoing the most beautiful icon of all: ANGEL and its star-shaped bottle. Next, in 2003, was Hungarian-born Anna Maria Cseh’s dizzying portrayal, about to go over the edge, surrounded by the chaos of the night, fervently protecting her precious perfume. In 2006, the ANGEL legend continued with Italian model Bianca Balti, hypnotized by her own reflection after having put on the heady fragrance. In 2008, ANGEL reconnected with its original magic in a contemporary fairy tale interpreted by American actress Naomi Watts. In 2011, a new angel appeared with the actress Eva Mendes, who personified all the facets of ANGEL’s sensuality.
I think Georgia May Jagger will be an excellent ANGEL face – this is a quirky, yet mainstream perfume, that is truly iconic, and also quite devisive – much like her dad’s band, agreed, Beatles fans?!
Meanwhile, ANGEL have launched a new version of the iconic scent this May – ANGEL Eau Sucree. Yes that means sugar – and yes, it’s even sweeter than the original, if that can be believed! It’s actually really lovely, and super-indulgent.
This Limited Edition ANGEL has a tanginess of a red berry sorbet, with the sweetness of a caramelised meringue. It also has notes of patchouli and vanilla, of course, and smells like a sweet in a bottle! The bottle is lovely – the iconic ANGEL star is illuminated with pearly glints – meant to represent sugar sprinkles! The box is lovely, vintage-styled striped packaging -reminds me a little bit of old Lulu Guinness perfume boxes.
If you are an ANGEL fan you will love this new, sugary sweet version for summer.
ANGEL Eau Sucree, 50ml non-refillable bottle, £42, muglerstore.co.uk
