Brooks Nader recently unveiled her latest collaboration, the vintage-inspired ‘Model Off-Duty’ collection with Hudson Jeans, in an exclusive partnership. The 28-year-old model launched a 16-piece collection on March 20, aiming to elevate everyday looks with a touch of nostalgia. Nader shared that her connection with Hudson Jeans dates back to her teenage years when she was a devoted fan of the brand. She recalled, “In middle school, it was like, if you weren’t wearing Hudson Jeans, what were you even doing with your life?”

The idea for the collection sparked when Nader visited the Centric Brands showroom over a year ago. She rediscovered her love for Hudson Jeans and saw an opportunity to bring back the classic styles she once adored. Describing the collection as “model off-duty, ’90s supermodel, old-school vibes,” Nader drew inspiration from her travels to Paris and vintage shopping experiences. She highlighted pieces like the Sarah Jane leather jacket, a modern twist on a Saint Laurent coat, as one of her favorites in the collection for its quality and statement shoulder pads.
Embracing the resurgence of trends from the 90s and early 2000s, Nader incorporated classic Hudson skinny jeans into the collection. Despite typically leaning towards baggy jeans, she finds the skinny jeans flattering and a great addition to any wardrobe. Nader aimed to capture the essence of that era with a contemporary twist through the pieces in her collection. She wanted to blend timeless staples with a touch of modern sophistication, making the collection versatile and suitable for various occasions.
A personal touch was added to the collection as Nader named pieces after her three sisters, adding a familial connection to the designs. She expressed excitement at the idea of her sisters wearing the pieces and playfully anticipated their reactions to having pieces named after them. Nader praised the collaborative process, commending the team for their creative ideas and expertise. As a model turned designer for this collection, she found the transition to the design side of fashion particularly rewarding.
The ‘Model Off-Duty’ collection offers a range of pieces that can be effortlessly mixed and matched, such as a denim button-down bodysuit that pairs well with jeans or a matching micro-skirt, and an oversized blazer suitable for both work and evening wear. Nader emphasised the versatility of the collection, providing options that can transition seamlessly from day to night. With attention to detail and a nod to her personal style, Nader aimed to create a collection that resonates with individuals looking for timeless yet chic additions to their wardrobe.
In a unique approach, Nader incorporated elements of her own fashion journey and style preferences into the collaboration with Hudson Jeans. The blend of nostalgia, modern trends, and personal touches makes the ‘Model Off-Duty’ collection a standout offering in the world of fashion. Nader’s passion for design and her dedication to curating pieces that evoke a sense of effortless sophistication shine through in this exclusive collaboration. Fashion enthusiasts and fans of the model can explore the collection to embrace a fusion of vintage inspiration and contemporary style.
