Gigi Hadid, who is almost always seen in the most over-the-top outfits, mentioned that she is not the flashy celebrity people assume her to be. She says that she is more into classic basics than some high-octane fashion. She said:
“When I design, I don’t just think about myself as this flashy public figure that everyone sees, because that’s not what I am most of the time. I borrow a lot of those glamourous, amazing things that I wear; I rarely get to keep them. What my wardrobe is, and why I started a company like this, is what I know well and love: it’s all about classic basics – and making those fun.”

The model mom, Gigi Hadid talked to Net-E-Porter about balancing her profession and being available to her 3-year-old daughter, Khai. She talked about working intentionally when her daughter stays with Zayn Malik. For the unversed, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik welcomed their daughter in 2020. She said:
“I think when you are a parent, you have to be intentional because, now, I literally have half the time. I work when my daughter is with her dad, and that’s the time I have. And the jobs I choose to fill that time with have to be ones that are fulfilling to me. I will literally fit in as many jobs as I can on those days. I’m sometimes a crazy person, but if it means a lot to me, then I do it.”
Gigi continues to say that, at present, she just wants to focus on things that are new and excite her a lot. She said:
“I want to do things that are new and feel exciting; where everyone is going to leave feeling fulfilled and that they did something fun that day.”
Apart from being an absolutely stunning model, a successful entrepreneur, and a caring mother, Gigi Hadid also wants to try her hands on acting.

Gigi Hadid added:
“If and when the right script comes around, I’d still like to do a movie one day. I took acting classes for a few years in New York. But a lot of scripts that I’ve gotten over the years are just the most obvious roles for me to play. It is what it is, but I’ve only auditioned for the ones that I didn’t feel were obvious.”
Gigi Hadid shed light on her wish to star in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. She mentioned that even a background character would have thrilled her. Well, we can only pray that the director fulfils this earnest desire of Gigi’s in the sequel (if there’s any at all) of the blockbuster film.
