“He’s usually on my mom's side,” she adds. When he’s in the middle of a family thing and everyone’s like, ‘Zayn, whose side are you on?’ he’s charming,” she says. “At first he was like, ‘How do I get a word in edgewise?’ But now he is very comfortable. Zayn, Gigi says, has found a diplomatic way to navigate Hadid gatherings. And my dad’s a storyteller-a bit goofy, but always connecting it back to, ‘Oh, you’ve heard the old Palestinian saying. My mom is just very Dutch and to the point. Whatever the family dinner-table discussion is, Bella will be very emotional and compassionate, and I’m sitting there pulling up charts and infographics, speaking very calmly. “This is not to say that I don’t have a heart or Bella doesn’t have a brain, but when dealing with family stuff and world issues, my mom calls me the brain and Bella the heart,” she says. Gigi describes her role during lively family dinners as practical and even-tempered.
People made jokes when Covid hit, like, ‘Oh, Gigi, you’ve been practicing quarantine for years now,’ because when I had a few days off, I would drive to the farm from the city and be with myself in my little cabin, making a resin chair or drying flowers.” Currently, Gigi is happily rediscovering her surroundings through someone else’s point of view, her daughter, born last September, who is noticing the arrival of summer and staring off at familiar trees, no longer bare but thick with summer leaves.Īltuzarra jacket Miu Miu pants. “I deal with a lot of things through just sitting and thinking and writing. “It’s peaceful and recharging for me,” she notes. Gigi seems drawn to the idyllic, content with time away from all the noise. She’s every bit horse girl by way of California, and new mother with an intuition for multitasking extreme presence (our interview) with relaxed watchfulness (hopping off camera to tend to Khai when she started crying). Her recently dyed rusty-red hair-adding a touch of grunge to her prep-is pulled back into a bun. She’s wearing a cropped white T-shirt, a gold chain, and a loose-fitting, striped, multicolored Ralph Lauren Oxford shirt, unbuttoned with the sleeves rolled up. There is, inherent to Gigi’s manner, a sort of Malibu-forever finish-a sporty glow as if she’s standing by, set to dust off any sand and join a match. Gigi’s kitchen, with its dyed-pasta-facade cabinetry, was just part of a larger bricolage motif that included a bathroom plastered with New Yorker magazine covers. I’m reminded of her New York apartment, which she finished redesigning last year and shared with her followers. “That’s a good kind of creativity.” On Instagram, she follows many Etsy-type decorative-craft accounts, like a crepe-paper florist, a glass-bead slow-fashion jeweler, artisanal bakers, and small-batch ceramicists. “It’s a memory of something that you tried,” Gigi adds. One gets the sense that crafting materials are never far and that she’d sooner reach for an activity like that-tactile, with little pressure to perform and instead make, as she says, “the shittiest pot ever”-than do anything else.
For the majority of our time together, she clutched a small bouquet of colorful felt-tip pens, her elbows firmly resting on the table. It seems like a plausible turn for Gigi Hadid, the model and mother to 10-month-old Khai, who has been spending much of the pandemic squirreled away at her mother’s rural 32-acre property.

Maybe she’ll write a children’s book one day.
