Not Only Is Gigi Hadid Hailed as the New Generation of 21st Century Supermodels, the 21-year-old Is Also Leading the Pack in Defying Conventional Stereotypes With Her Social-savvy Mastery, Anti Sugar-coating Personality and Body-loving Vibes.
Can Gigi Hasid go a day without hitting the headlines? when the jet-setting starlet’s not gracing the covers of major magazines, walking for the most influential names on the runway or scoring big-ticket ad campaigns from the likes of Maybelline, Tommy Hilfiger and Reebok, she’s busy navigating her way through hordes of paparazzi and flashing cameras. Despite only venturing into modelling a few years back, she has since skyrocketed from a runway fledgling to one of the most in demand style mavens. however, in a world that imposes an obvious stigma on ‘overrated’ models like Gigi, there’s no avoiding the truckloads of nasty name-calling and hateful comments that would get thrown her way. And we often overlook the fact that just like other model greenhorns, Gigi had also painstakingly built her career from the ground up. “i was doing everything that everyone does, all the crazy long castings in weird places, dungeons, in the middle of London where you don’t know where you are... i’ve done all of it,” she recalls. And that’s how she started her rise to superstardom.
In retrospect, Gigi does more than simply strutting down the runway. She embodies a new phenomenon of girl power icons that are not only blessed with beauty, but also big on brains and heart. And the cool chick does it in typical Hasid fashion – by using her social influences to speak up against stereotypes while spreading empowering messages. it’s time to flip the script: forget Gigi Hasid the it girl, enter Gigi Hasid the role model.
