April 11, 201411 yr And an interview from Harper's Bazaar:  As is expected for a model newbie, Gigi Hadid is just a mere 19 years old. The daughter of model turned reality star and real estate mogul, Yolanda Foster, the New York transplant by way of California is making a name for herself in the image of Kate Upton. Think pretty pin-ups who work high fashion bookings, her's thanks to appearances in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Edition and Vand VMan. The girl of the moment chatted with BAZAAR about forging a career, making it in the Big City and playing it cool with little to nothing on. Harper’s Bazaar: What age did you start modeling?I started modeling when I was about 2 or 3 years old, I started with Baby Guess and I did Guess Kids and that was the extent of my modeling career as a kid. I took all of my elementary, middle and high school years off to focus on school and sports. What was the moment of your return to modeling?I signed with IMG in 2011 and that was my first agency and I knew it was what I wanted to do. I was about to graduate high school and I wanted to move to New York and build my career, so IMG was a great place for me to be able to do that. How would you describe your approach to modeling?It’s all teamwork between me and my agent. He guides me a lot through it but once I’m there I always try and take in the artistic, creative ideas from the art director or designer or photographer, whoever is leading. I think that something photographers find about me is that I work really hard to make sure I know what they want before I start shooting. Your recent V Mag spread was beautiful, how do you approach nudity while still feeling comfortable in the situation?Well with V Mag it was a very artistic and symbolic thing...I was playing more of a character than it was just them taking pictures with me. It was a beautiful concept that had some meaning for me about this girl that’s kind of crossing a path and finding herself. I think that if you can find the art in it, it’s a beautiful thing. You’re on Instagram and Twitter, what are your thoughts on being involved in social media?I think it’s really important for me, especially with modeling and being in any type of entertainment industry it’s really important to be able to share your side of things. I think in the past a lot of the time models were kind of looked at as more of an object, I think they are becoming more of personalities and celebrities because we have social media to be able to share those things. I’m really taking advantage of it and I think that social media is becoming such a huge part of becoming a successful person in fashion. I’m just embracing that and trying to do the best I can. How would you describe your personal style?It’s funny because it’s definitely different when I’m in New York or when I’m home in California. I think that kind of take on two different personalities in those two places through my style. In California I’m more of a beach chick and I kind of take on a model city girl when I’m in New York.Do you have any go-to brands or stores that you gravitate to the most?Rag & Bone is a big part of my closet. I just really like how their jeans fit, I wear them a lot and I think they make really cool staple pieces. Do you have any photographers that you would love to work with that you haven’t yet?I would love to work with Mario Testino. What has been your favorite shoot to date?I think probably my favorite would be for Sports Illustrated just because I love the Sports Illustrated team and they’re so much fun to work with and have such a positive energy, I love being on set with them. Do you have any models that you look up to?I love Doutzen, I think she’s beautiful and she’s a beautiful spirit just as much as she is beautiful on the outside. I think she’s super cool. What are your favorite travel destinations?Probably the top would be St. Barths, I went this past New Years. I love Tahiti, I love tropical places. Where would you like to see yourself in the next few years?I don’t like to say exactly where I’d like to be just because I feel like my goals change every day. I find that I’m doing things every day that I never would have even dreamed about yesterday. I’m just working hard and hoping that everything falls into place.
