"I've always wanted to capture a day in the life of the Self-Portrait woman so when exploring how best to present our fall 2022 collection, doing just that seemed like the perfect opportunit­y," said Han Chong, founder of Self-Portrait, Kate Middleton's go-to brand.

"Gigi was the perfect woman to bring this idea to life — freespirit­ed, hard-working and a true ray of sunshine — she brought effortless energy to this campaign. It's a very special collection for me, one deeply grounded in the core values of the house, so being able to share this story with Gigi is a true dream," he added.

In the campaign, Hadid sports key looks from the brand's fall 2022 collection, which includes sexy separates, tailored dresses and chic eveningwea­r numbers with diamanté details on shoulder straps and around the bra line.

Chong believes that his customer is ready to get dressed up again this fall.

"I'm hoping to be able to help inspire them to do that with this collection. I've been wanting to design a collection that felt more elevated, and which truly celebrates eveningwea­r — a category that's always been close to my heart," he added.
