Leopard Print

Georgia May Jagger: W magazine, September 2010

With her Fiery Blonde lock’s and  juicy red lip’s dazzling us with a flicker of a smile, we wonder- how the heck does she do it?!  Georgia Jagger has a presence, a desirable talent of making a room silent with a flick of golden hair. So When she joined us for a photo shoot, well, we had our own moment (however cheesy) and stood in awe of her ample composure.
