GIGI TURNS DESIGNER
NOT content with conquering the catwalk, Gigi Hadid has turned her talents to fashion design, collaborating on a capsule collection with Tommy Hilfiger.
"I never thought I would be asked to design a capsule collection, so it still feels like a dream that Tommy approached me to collaborate," enthused Hadid following the announcement today. "His company is one that I genuinely love and have been a fan of for my entire life, and Tommy is the easiest, most fun person to work with."
"I have always looked up to his brand, campaigns and design style," she continued. "I think our collection celebrates the iconic Tommy lifestyle and mixes a bit of everything: there are styles that are really hippie-chic, styles that are sporty streetwear, and styles that are tomboy but girly; everyone's is going to love a different part of it."
Set to hit shops in the autumn of 2016, the collection will comprise sportswear, footwear, accessories (including watches and sunglasses), as well as a new fragrance, all of which "celebrate Hadid's unique take on modern style, fused with Hilfiger's signature 'classic American cool' heritage", according to the brand, which is no doubt hoping to capitalise on Hadid's global social-media reach to help the pieces fly off the shelves.
"I've known Gigi and her family for years, and it has been amazing to watch her grow into one of the world's top models and most-followed fashion influencers," said Hilfiger. "Gigi has walked in our runway shows and now we are thrilled to continue our collaboration with her as the new face of Tommy Hilfiger womenswear and fragrance. She is truly the definition of today's 'Tommy Girl' - her magnetic personality is bright and always optimistic, and her style is confident, effortless and cool."

Behind The Cover: Gigi's Hat Hair
Sometimes the addition of a single accessory completely transforms a magazine cover, and for Vogue's January 2016 cover, starring Gigi Hadid, it was a £30 baker boy cap from JJ Hat Center.
"We started off with a look without the hat but when we changed the outfit and added it, the look became complete," explained hairstylist James Pecis, who styled Hadid's hair for the shoot. "I actually have the same hat and love it, so I am partial to it. Sometimes it helps for models to have a prop as it can encourage different characters."
Wearing a hat, though, requires the perfect hair as a base. Up or down? Curly or straight? Neat or messy?
"It helps if you style the hair before you put the hat on. Whether your hair is straight or curly, layers around the face can change up the look," Pecis told us. "I prepped Gigi's hair, blasted it dry, then waved it in a natural pattern with a curling tong. Next, I broke the waves up with my fingers and sprayed in a touch of texture spray for a more lived-in feel."
Next he parted the hair at one side and gently secured it in a low ponytail at the back. "Once the pony was in place I took out a few pieces of hair around the face. This is nice to do when wearing a hat as it softens the look," he revealed.
As Hadid tipped the hat in her typically playful style, Patrick Demarchelier snapped the money shot, and the first cover of 2016 was born.
"Gigi is a dream to work with. She's super nice and professional - and has amazing hair! She was actually sick on the day and had a fever, but she's such a hard worker that you can't even tell. She totally turned that frown upside down!"
On Wednesday, Bella and Gigi Hadid arrived to The Carlyle Residences, an apartment complex in Los Angeles where their mother Yolanda Foster reportedly now calls home
I can't, I just can't. Actually watching the first video was bad enough, but the second? Oy, didn't make it to a full minute.
omg those videos are literally brain-numbingly stupid.
Adriana is the worst host ever. lol.
This is kind of petty but I noticed that Gigi has a snaggletooth and I can't help but get distracted by it when she talks.
Surprised her bookers didn't make her get it fixed but I guess things are different when you're famous.
