Bella Hadid stars in self-portrait campaign
British fashion house self-portrait has revealed its latest campaign, this time featuring mega supermodel Bella Hadid. Celebrating the arrival of the brand’s Spring Summer 2022 collection, the images document the different sides to Hadid’s inimitable style and character, all while showcasing the many facets of the self-portrait woman. The newest collection by Han Chong, founder and creative director, features rich colors, new silhouettes, and a blend of softened textures—designed to be worn effortlessly, making miss Bella the perfect mannequin. “Bella has this incredible purity of spirit and rawness of emotion that speaks to so many people today,” the designer, who recently acquired the Roland Mouret brand, says. “I really admire how aware and empathetic she is of the world around her, which is so refreshing. It was a real dream to work with her on this campaign, which allowed her to bring to life all the different sides of her character.”

Gigi Hadid opens up about her daughter and secret TikTok
Gigi Hadid is really dominating covers this season! The supermodel mom graces InStyle wearing Off White—her way of honoring her close friend, late designer Virgil Abloh. She talked with the magazine about her career, kindness, her secret TikTok and why we won’t see Khai in any modeling campaigns. “Kindness is so important,” she tells the mag. “It’s another one of those things that my mom always told me— there’s always going to be people in the industry who are younger, prettier, up-and-coming. You have to be kinder and more hard-working.” Although Hadid has worked tirelessly to advance her career, she has slightly different plans for baby Khai. “Yeah. No. You know, she’s going to do what she wants to do. She could be an astronaut. I don’t know.” On the topic of a secret TikTok account, the model admitted “I do have a secret TikTok, which I don’t post on, and I don’t follow anyone I know on it […] I’m a lurker, but it’s for, like, mom videos and kids’ lunch videos.” The interview will be featured in InStyle’s March issue, hitting newsstands on February 11.

Manhattan-made eclectic fine jewelry mogul Marla Aaron is celebrating her brand’s 10-year anniversary with a swank pop-up at Bergdorf Goodman. The interactive pop-up, which will enjoy its colorful display for the coming months, can be found in the Fifth Avenue retailer’s Jewelry Room and will see a stocked calendar of exclusive events for shoppers. As for the fully-branded display, key components include Aaron’s signature pieces, new designs—as well as specialized assistants ready to help shoppers create their own combinations—and a jewelry-dispensing gumball machine(!). Since taking her passion for unconventional, exceptionally-fine jewelry from her kitchen table to the public, Aaron has familiarized her eponymous label with distinguished publications, retail outlets and an impressive cult-following of actual customer celebrities. For the NYC local, the partnership with BG couldn’t have been more apropos to mark the label’s foray into American department stores. “To have the opportunity to spread our wings within the iconic walls of Bergdorf’s—and bring our deeply personal and egalitarian, but luxurious, take on jewelry—is a dream.” Be prompt—the gumball machine line is already piling up.
