![]() ![]() I would go to work, cry at lunch in my little greenroom, finish my day, go to whatever random little hotel I was in for the night, cry again, wake up in the morning, and do the same thing.” Bella Hadid causes a stir on the runway The beauty said she had put on a front that made her seem intimidating and that people were always surprised to meet her and find out she was pleasant rather than a “scary dragon lady or some kind of a sexbot.”Īnd she admitted, “For three years while I was working, I would wake up every morning hysterical, in tears, alone. In an interview with Vogue this year, she said she had felt in the shadow of her older sister Gigi and worried that people thought she had just benefited from her success.īella told the outlet that she had suffered from “incredible insecurities, anxiety, depression, body-image issues, eating issues.” Because you are stuck in this body for the rest of your life.” And suddenly, chatting with Collins in a beam of sunlight that would melt the coldest, prudest heart, being your own valentine doesn't seem like such a bleak prospect.A post shared by Bella □ Bella Hadid opens up on mental healthīella has been candid about her struggles and insecurities in the modeling industry. So to see Bella being happy and chill and comfortable with herself, that’s more important than trying to aspire to be someone. I never want someone to aspire to be someone else. “I want people to see themselves in a person. Unlike the model worshippers of years past, Collins’s ethos and aesthetic are more democratic, even pluralistic. “I’m so pro-selfie because I think it’s a tool that allows girls to create images of their own and of themselves,” she told me as Bella slipped back into the racks of cashmere and silk for an outfit change. But I just try to create as many things that will make people feel that in themselves.”Ĭontrol and self-representation are more than just motifs in Collins’s work, and typified in the front-facing camera. And it takes forever to get there-it’s hard to be a girl and see all these images telling you not to feel that way. “I think it’s an attitude, and it’s definitely strength. I couldn’t resist asking the obvious question (and perennial Victoria’s Secret tag line): What is sexy? “I think it’s just like style-it’s when you’re most comfortable,” said Collins. It’s a sexiness born of self-regard, and it may just be the sexiness of the future. Even if it’s deleted, never intended for a recipient or any viewer other than the author-subject-iPhone user. ![]() Even the most modest Instagrammer among us can, given the right number of Fernet cocktails, will admit the universal truth- yes, even I have taken a picture of myself, looked upon my creation, and saw that it was sexy. Given the always-good-for-a-click context of a Valentine’s-themed lingerie shoot, any sense of sex the viewer gets is usually idealistically hetero, in which a Miranda Kerr type is in presumably fantasy-male You’s giant crisp Armani shirt, lounging in your fantasy leather love seat (and how many loves has that seat seen is another extension of the same fantastic conceit).īut shift that relationship from male-gaze-and-subject to girl-taking-selfies-alone, and the intimacy is real, raw, preening in an arresting, empathetic way. The implications of intimacy are real, and, in the context of the selfie, shocking. When we say her star is on the rise, it’s the sort that sends out gravitational vibrations.Īnd here she was, in teased, matted hair, just hours before sitting one row behind the Kardashian krew at Madison Square Garden’s Yeezy Season 3 listening party–cum–fashion show. She and her sister share the preternatural ubiquity of a Céline trapeze tote, photographed everywhere important and seen on the street with more regularity than you’d expect. In case there’s still fence-sitting on that issue, the clause would have read: the younger, brunette sister to also-model Gigi, daughter of Real Housewife of Somewhere In California regular and also-model Yolanda Foster, current more-than-rumored paramour to the Weeknd. And Goya-ed out on top in a sheer white tank top and the retro-cool underwear colloquially referred to as “granny panties” was Bella Hadid, a person who is beginning not to require an explanatory clause after her name. A single mattress lay in the middle of the floor with whip-sawed sheets. On a freezing February morning, light was streaming into an airy corner Soho loft through panoramic floor-to-(neck craningly high)-ceiling windows-the kind of light that makes any morning feel like the first day of spring.
