Gigi’s top model moments of 2016
LUNGI GOES GLOBAL MAKING IT DAPPER
You can make the lungi look all the more alluring and suave by giving a twist to the pleats, the way our model does it here. Wearing a smart printed jacket with his lungi, he puts together a look that’s modern yet traditional.
American model Gigi Hadid has been officially crowned ‘International Model’ of the year at the 2016 Fashion Awards, which puts her at the zenith of the fashion industry. We take a look at some defining moments, which enabled her to take the fashion world by a storm and resulted in her unprecedented success in the past 12 months.
BALMAIN BRUNETTE
The ‘curvy’ blonde, Gigi shocked the fashion world when she walked the Balmain catwalk as a brunette at the Paris Fashion Week. Although Gigi featured in all the major catwalks during the Spring/Summer 2017 ready-towear shows, but her defining fashion week moment came when she walked the runway for Italian fashion house Fendi in Milan sporting a glittery metallic disco lip that emerged as one of the raging beauty trends of the season.
BOOTING UP
Gigi’s love of a heeled bootie is well documented. She designed boots for American designer Stuart Weitzman, that were released in copper, silver and black. The art of suiting up gets a new meaning with this look. Ditching the grey trousers, the model teams his lungi with a white shirt, a sleek black tie and a grey blazer. Grey espadrilles and his hair tied in a bun make his look every inch debonair.
