What's Next For Gigi Hadid?

After two years and four collections, Gigi Hadid bid an emotional farewell to her hit collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger. The experience she said had given her a huge confidence boost.

“From the get go I really enjoyed every second of my design meetings," Hadid revealed. "They were hours long for multiple days. I felt really lucky to have that responsibility and I took it really seriously. With each collection I learned more how to step into my power in a way in terms of being confident in myself.”

She plans to build on her success and the skills she’s learnt with Tommy and continue designing, but don’t expect her to rush into a new project. “I want to take some time and think about what I could be really good at. I want it to be something I really think about and something I know I can make well. I want it to be great quality and for people to know it is mine when they look at it.”

Whatever she does, she plans to consult Hilfiger. “I’ll always have a mentor in Tommy. Whatever I come up with, I’ll run by him and see if he thinks it’s a good idea.”
