Introducing the Queen of the Runways: Gigi Hadid

Early Life Born and raised in the City of Angels, Gigi Hadid (nee Jelena Noura Hadid) was destined for greatness from the very beginning. The eldest daughter of Palestinian-Jordanian real estate developer Mohamed Hadid and Dutch model Yolanda Hadid. Gigi was blessed with both brains and beauty. With a younger sister, Bella, and a brother, Anwar, also in the modeling industry. It’s clear that good genes run in the family.

Growing up, Gigi spent her days on a ranch in Santa Barbara. Before the family moved to the glitz and glam of Beverly Hills. After graduating from Malibu High School, where she was the captain of the school’s varsity volleyball team. She moved to New York City to study criminal psychology. But, as fate would have it, her true calling was on the runway, not in a courtroom.

She modeled for the brand’s Baby Guess line before taking a break to focus on her studies. But, in 2011, she returned to the modeling world with a vengeance. Re-teaming with Marciano and being named the face of a Guess campaign in 2012.

And walking in shows for designers like Chanel, Marc Jacobs, and Giambattista Valli. In 2016, she became the global brand ambassador for Tommy Hilfiger and starred in a BMW campaign.
