In Fall 2014, Hudson Jeans wanted to shake things up, guided by a strong internal philosophy, they made the decision to be a little more public about who they are and what they believe. At the same time, there was a fear that being so honest might lock them into the growing sea of campaigns focused on feel-good advertising. So Hudson decided to head into Fall 2014 with something that would get people talking – and it did.
Now in 2015, they get to bring it home with the second phase of their declaration, called FOREVER FORWARD. Because Hudson isn’t only about great denim. That’s their vehicle, but what they are driving is a much larger set of beliefs. Hudson believe you can thrive doing what you love, which I absolutely agree with! The brand is inspired by people who pursue this idea with reckless abandon and they believe those people can be anyone. Any one of us who imagine the world better. Anyone who is forever searching, forever reaching and evolving. This is why they are doing a real women campaign.
Here are the very first two images from the brand new SS15 campaign, the rest will be released very soon, but it features real women. MADELINE HARMON (Devoted to Denim) is featured as the Vintage denim collector and connoisseur. Madeline is one of Hudson’s favorite examples of what it means to be devoted to denim. She lives and breathes it, and we can relate. ARTO SAARI (Devoted to Story) is an iconic professional skater and photographer, Arto Saari is a profound example of what it means to be devoted to story ÔÇö both in crafting his own and using his passion for photography to tell the stories of others. What do you think of this new concept? I think it’s pretty cool as being devoted to denim myself (I live and breathe every moment of it), it’s wonderful to have someone celebrate that.
