A 27-year-old supermodel, Gigi Hadid, remains a defining face for Vogue as she fronts the magazine’s September issue, a placement that solidifies her worldwide appeal. The official publication site confirms her role as the focal point of the cover story, underscoring her continued influence in contemporary fashion.
For the Italian edition, Hadid was tapped as the cover star in a feature that explored a fresh concept in fashion, captured through a shoot conducted with the legendary photographer Rafael Pavarotti and the styling expertise of Grace Coddington. The collaboration brought a distinctive aesthetic that resonated with audiences across Europe and beyond, highlighting how cinematic fashion can be interpreted through a modern lens.
On the cover, Hadid appears in a black velvet dress that sets a moody, opulent tone. The styling emphasizes bold contrasts—supermodel hair takes on a snowy white sheen and is sculpted with volume at the roots, creating a striking silhouette against the dark fabric. The makeup complements this drama, with dramatic black eyeliner and a bold red lip that together conjure a hypnotic, witchy allure. The overall look leans into a theatrical, almost arcane mood that is memorable and cinematic.
This cover marks Hadid’s 36th appearance on a magazine cover over the course of her multifaceted career. Inside the issue, she shares a candid conversation about her relationship with fashion, offering insights into how she defines personal style and what the industry means to her today. The interview touches on creativity, ambition, and the evolving landscape of fashion from a global perspective, reflecting a mature, reflective stance on trends and self-expression.
Earlier reporting noted Hadid’s venture beyond modeling, including the launch of a knitwear line. This expansion signals a broader engagement with fashion entrepreneurship, further expanding her influence in the industry and offering fans a tangible way to participate in her creative vision (Source: fashion press coverage).
