Your support makes all the difference.Edie and Olympia Campbell, Cara and Poppy Delevingne, Kate and Lottie Moss - model siblings are having a moment. The latest duo to join the gang are Gigi and Bella Hadid who have landed the cover of V Magazine.
The lingerie clad sisters star on the racy cover of V Magazine, shot by Steven Klein and styled by Patti Wilson for the prestigious fall fashion preview issue.
Gigi Hadid is a name that has been cropping up in fashion circles continuously for the past few seasons, but sister Bella is a newer name to the modelling game.
The siblings Gigi (20) and Bella (18) are the daughters of Yolanda Foster, who starred in US reality TV series 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.' So just like fellow reality-tv-star-turned-model Kendall Jenner, the duo have a background in the entertainment business.
Gigi started her career at an early age starring in campaigns for Baby Guess but it was only last year that she enjoyed a swift ascent with countless catwalk appearances and editorial shoots now under her belt.
Earlier this year Gigi made her debut in the prestigious Pirelli calendar. She's also signed up to star in Victoria's Secret ads and is the new face of Maybelline.
Younger sister Bella, is newer to the fashion world, however that hasn't stopped her quickly building a vast portfolio with shoots for Love Magazine, CR Fashion Book and Teen Vogue. She's also appeared in a runway show for Tom Ford and attended this year's Met Gala as a guest of high street store Topshop, decked out in a custom dress from the brand.
Earlier this yearThe Independent spoke to Gigi about her career in fashion and if having famous parents has helped her career:
"Yeah on one side we [Kendall Jenner and herself] have great families that have been in the spotlight and have taught a lot on that side of things, but we also have the work ethics to back it up. And I just want to be someone that is known because like to be working with me, even when they don’t know about my mum.”
“Because my mom was in the industry and because I have a great team behind me, I was taught the basics as a kid… Other girls need to take two years to learn the basics, but I started with a lot of this knowledge and I was able to develop my own work ethic and my own style in the past two years and I kind have stuff ahead,” she told The Independent.
