Gigi Hadid

        For a while I stopped writing about supermodels and the women/men that inspire me fashion-wise because I had a stick up my ass and thought that it was shallow. I thought I had a lot more to say than simply write about fashion--I thought the models had more to say than simply being a human hanger. But you know what? fashion is fun! It gives us a chance to show people what we are like before we open our mouths (and it has been proven that people judge us within the first minute that they meet us). Self expression is one of the most beautiful things we can do and it takes a creative mind to pull it together--so  in that sense celebrating fashion is celebrating someones mind and creativity.

So with that out of the way, I want to write about one of my favorite super model "it" girls of the moment. Her name is Gigi Hadid, and she is from the lucky sperm club. Let me digress, her mother (Yolanda Foster-ever heard of her?) is a Beverly Hills Housewife as well as a model, her father is a successful real estate developer, and her step-father is a well to do music producer. Her modeling career started at the ripe age of 2 as a Guess girl--you know, casual--

Last year she debuted as an SI rookie, and for the past few fashion weeks she has been burning up the runway and taking selfies with Rihanna and Taylor Swift...again, casual.

The reasons why I like her (as well as a bunch of people apparently) is because she is not sickly skinny. She actually has curves and gives off a healthy and cool beachy vibe...this is refreshing, because it is an echo to the traditional supermodels like Christy Brinkley and Tyra Banks, who didn't look like sick aliens either... and because of her style, she comes across as down to earth and fun.

Another insteresting tidbit: Hadid is half palestinian and half danish--and is the on again/off again gf of singer Cody Simpson

btw...her sister Bella is also a fashion model about to blow up.
