Chasing Gigi

Flipping through my Marie Claire Holiday Issue and about half way through, I realize I have already seen Gigi Hadid 3 times! She is also in an email from Vogue, on The Jimmy Fallon Show, and posing for Maybelline at Ulta. Everywhere I look, there she is. This girl is doing the most and we're loving it. That is why I am kicking off December with Miss Hadid as my Boss Muse!

I don't know a lot about Gigi except that she is a gorgeous model with impeccable style and best friends with Kendall Jenner and girlfriend to Zayn. But seeing her so much lately made me curious about what she's about. If I did a full recap of her life or even just her career, I would run out of time. The starlight has been modeling since she was 2. Even just recapping 2017 for Gigi would take forever. She just wrapped up her own designs for Tommy Hilfiger, won the Glamour Women of the Year award, and has become a brand ambassador for 3 different brands.

Gigi Hadid for Stuart Weitzman

Recently, Gigi teamed up with creative director Giovanni Morelli to design 2 pointed-toe mule styles. The collection celebrates and contributes to the Pencils of Promise charity, a non-profit that builds elementary schools in underserved countries. Some of the countries include Ghana, Guatemala, Laos, and there are plans to build in at least 3 more countries by the end of the year. Stuart Weitzman has pledged $105,000 for the non-profit and I am positive that Gigi's collection will succeed that goal! Gigi's slogan for the campaign: "Look good, do good".

Inspiration for the mule: Gigi wanted a stylish mule for the Fall that would keep her toes warm so she had the shoes lined with with shearing. She also used the "Evil eye" symbol in the design because it wards off evil and she believes it is comforting to look at. One design has a an Evil eye symbol on the right shoe (deemed EyeLove) and the second design has multiple Evil eyes on both (deemed EyeLoveMore). They come in gray, indigo, and nude.

Gigi Hadid for Maybelline

Gigi was first brand ambassador in 2015 for Maybelline. Flash forward 2 years and she is creating her own collection for the prized brand. The inspiration for the line comes from her current lifestyle of living on the East Coast in NY, being from the West Coast in LA, and jet setting internationally.

Gigi Hadid for Messika

Just when we think Gigi couldn't add anything else to her agenda, she goes and adds jewelry design. As the new brand ambassador and co-designer with Valerie Messika of the Parisian brand Messika, Hadid has created a 12 piece collection to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Move.The collection carries notes of punk rock, rebellion, and elegance.

I'm sure that I have missed something and by the time this post hits she will have done something else. I am impressed by her work ethic but most of all I am impressed at what everyone who works with her has to say. They all love her and feel she is very professional and most of them have worked with her on projects in the past so for them to demand her again must mean the girl has it. We applaud you Gigi!

With Love,
