Model of the Moment Gigi Hadid has officially reached #SupermodelStatus with her latest feature in Vogue – and it’s not just ANY editorial.
Gigi pays homage to Anna Wintour’s first 1988 Vogue cover featuring the stunning Israeli model Michaela Bercu, shot by Peter Lindbergh & styled by Carlyne Cerf De Dudzeele. Hadid has similarities to then model Michaela – from her natural beauty to long mermaid locks. Talk about a perfect #TBT.
Interestingly enough – the O.G. 1988 Vogue cover was SO natural looking the magazine’s printers actually called up Anna Wintour to double check it wasn’t a mistake!
In an interview, the IMG Model says: “Since the day I started, I’ve been very happy with my body. I never felt the need to change for the industry; [her agents at] IMG know I don’t want to be two pounds soaking wet.”
Gigi’s shot is photographed by Sean Thomas, wearing a customized A.L.C. Covington Sweater paired with GUESS jeans – styled by fashion editor Jordan Bickham.
Homegirls’ career has sky rocketed from cover CR Fashion Book, W Magazine, featured in SI Swimsuit issue, starring in top campaigns for Tom Ford & GUESS, and now appearing in the Pirelli Calendar.
