Brooks Nader revives 2000s nostalgia with New Hudson Jeans collection

“In middle school, it was like, if you weren’t wearing the Hudson Jeans, what were you even doing with your life?” Brooks Nader conveys PEOPLE of the nostalgia behind the brand.

A Throwback to Classic Hudson Style

Model Brooks Nader, 28, is bringing back 2000s fashion vibes with her new 16-piece collection in collaboration with Hudson Jeans, which launched on March 20. The collection is designed to elevate everyday looks and capture the essence of model-off-duty style with a vintage twist.

The partnership came about after Nader visited the Centric Brands showroom and rekindled her love for Hudson Jeans, a brand she adored growing up.

“I was the biggest Hudson girl ever,” Nader recalls. “Every Christmas, it was all about Hudson.” She saw an opportunity to revamp the brand’s presence and make it relevant again in today’s fashion scene.

A Collection Inspired by ’90s Supermodels & Parisian Vintage

Nader describes the Hudson x Brooks Nader collection as a fusion of ‘90s supermodel aesthetics, classic structure, and effortless cool.

“I was really inspired by traveling to Paris and vintage shopping there,” she shares. The collection includes structured silhouettes, big shoulder pads, tweeds, and classic patterns that give a modern edge to nostalgic fashion staples.

Key Pieces & Personal Favorites

One of Nader’s standout pieces is the Sarah Jane leather jacket, inspired by a Saint Laurent coat she admired during fashion week.

“The quality’s amazing, the shoulder pads are great—it adds some flavor to a simple outfit,” she says.

Another highlight? The return of the classic Hudson skinny jean.

“I think it’s so flattering. I’m usually a baggy jean girl, but why not look hot if you can? Can we just be sexy again?” she adds, embracing a balance between cool and confident femininity.

Versatile Staples for Every Wardrobe

The collection is designed with mix-and-match versatility, featuring essential closet staples that reflect both modern trends and nostalgic Y2K fashion. Nader hopes to revive the love for Hudson Jeans while giving fashion lovers chic, wearable pieces that stand the test of time.
