Gigi Hadid | Daughter of Mohamed Hadid and Yolanda Hadid

With a Palestinian real-estate developer and Dutch model parents, Gigi Hadid was born into a well-off family. After she graduated from Malibu High School, Gigi moved to New York City in 2013, studying criminal psychology at The New School. However, she stopped her studies to focus on her modeling career, though she started modeling at the tender age of two after being discovered by Guess designer Paul Marciano.

In February 2014, Gigi made her debut New York Fashion Week debut, where she walked for a Spanish fashion company, Desigual. That same year, she was among the Top 50 Models ranking at Models.com. Since then, the model has appeared in various fashion campaigns, including Tom Ford’s 2015 Eyewear autumn and winter campaign. Gigi also co-hosted the Fashion Media Awards of the Daily Front Row in 2014, held in New York City. Also, she was featured on Galore magazine’s 2014 cover—credit to her beautiful face, body, and grace.
