The gorgeous Gigi Hadid has officially hit supermodel status. The blonde babe opened up to VOGUE about modeling -from meeting the entire fashion industry to the hectic scheduling. Gigi’s already got a pretty rad modeling career going on, but that doesn’t stop this bad-a** chick from keeping her studies going – she is currently attending college at The New School in NYC. #BeautyandBrains.
On Modeling: “I’d say the best thing is the travel and being able to meet a lot of great amazing talented people. It also opens so many doors to other industries. Fashion is really a place where every other industry connects, whether it’s music or acting.”
The 19 year old added, “At the end of the day, everyone is going to walk the red carpet and be interested in the fashion side of it. I think that’s really cool because as a model you get to connect with a lot of different worlds. The negative is that I can never make plans until like a week or two in advance because everything happens very last minute. It’s a wait and rush thing. I couldn’t tell you what I’m doing for Christmas, or even Thanksgiving.”
Gigi graduated high school in 2011 and moved to the fashion/modeling capital of the world: New York City to pursue modeling. She’s appeared in magazines from V Magazine, ELLE, Grazia, Cleo, VOGUE, Galore, Sports Illustrated, Paper magazine & Schön!. After signing with IMG Models she became the face of GUESS, Gigi was actually discovered by Paul Marciano (co-founder of GUESS? Inc.).
Just this year, homegirl has starred alongside Patrick Schwarzenegger in Tom Ford’s Eyewear campaign, as well as starring for the brands new fragrance Velvet Orchid. She’s set to appear in the 2015 Pirelli calendar, prior to that she was featured in the SI Swimsuit Issue, up for ‘rookie of the year’.
Recently Gigi walked for Marc Jacobs S/S 15 during NYFW, Giles S/S 15 RTW at London Fashion Week, and in Jean Paul Gaultier SS15 Show, Sonia Rykiel SS15 and Chanel SS15 during Paris Fashion Week. Of course it’s a family affair, Hadid’s mom stars on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills & Bella Hadid (Gigi’s younger sister) is also pursuing modeling, recently signing with IMG Models too. Gigi hangs with fellow top model besties, Kendall/Kylie Jenner, Cara Delevingne, Hailey & Ireland Baldwin, Sara Sampaio & more.
