HUDSON CLOTHIER

Welcome to Hudson Clothier... haberdasher, jeweler, milliner and purveyor of fashionable goods, all ethically made-inthe-USA. Home to more than 70 American designers, this unique boutique features a full menu of stylish clothing for women, men and everyone else.

Established in 2014 in Hudson NY, Hudson Clothier offers an impressive selection of small batch jeans, overalls, hand-made handbags, and men’s and women’s goods from underwear to outerwear. The store is the brainchild of fashion entrepreneur, Mary Vaughn Williams. Wearing many hats - proprietor, skilled buyer, smiling host - she welcomes visitors and locals alike to her collection of classic heritage brands and innovative young designers. Thanks to revitalized garment industries in Atlanta, LA and Brooklyn, among other cities, Hudson Clothier is proud to showcase quality apparel and accessories made across America.

Williams settled in Bali in the 1980s, where she and her former partner worked closely with the Indonesian community to design and import Batik clothing and textiles. Their business was wildly successful, selling to hundreds of stores from Tokyo to Alaska. Eventually moving to Hudson in 2003 they co-founded White Rice, a retail store named in honor of their clothing label.

Over time Mary Vaughn wanted to strike out on her own and develop a new brand. With twenty five years experience, a fashion business that would support American manufacturing was born into a storefront in historic Hudson. In 2019 she doubled that space and expanded her offerings to include more for men and women. Growing again, Hudson Clothier may be coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

Jessica Jordaan

WarhorseUSA

Jessica hails from humble beginnings in the American Rocky Mountains. Inspired by the beauty, grace and elegance of horses, Jessica first discovered her love of horses at an early age while living in Cody, Wyoming, the “rodeo capital” of the world. She was quickly hooked and horses became a part of her life. She began working with a local ranch offering trail rides. She also worked at the Cody rodeo, learning about horses and otther livestock and how to care for their needs.

As an adult living in Colorado, Jessica was inspired to create change for America’s wild Mustangs after a visit to a local Mustang sanctuary. Moved by the grave injustice that awaits many of these inspirational, magical and historically significant animals, Jessica formed WARHORSE USA to raise awareness for Americas wild and domesticated Mustangs.

After a 10-year career as an international model, Jessica has been published and featured in numerous television shows, magazine publications and articles. In 2018, she had the privilege to serve Colorado as The Mrs. Colorado America FRU where she was able to share her time and experiences with the charities that are close to her heart. Today, Jessica is usually found hacking her horses, “Fritz” and “Afrika,” training with her coach for her competitive show season, taking Afrikaans lessons, volunteering, working out, or sharing time with her husband and seven children.

Jessica resides in Colorado, with her husband, Hendrik Jordaan. Along with supporting Jessica in her mission to save endangered wild horses, Hendrik has his own cause that he feels passionate about. He co-founded and serves as President/CEO of an international private equity fund that is backed by some of the world’s leading families. With the use of investments, he generates jobs that provide economic freedom to thousands of people across the world.

A current member of The Equus Foundation, Cottonwood Riding Club, USEF, The Denver Polo Club and Herd Member, Jessica has a deep understanding of equine causes and is committed to sharing her time, knowledge and dedication to benefit the equine community around Colorado, the country and the world.
