Bella Hadid Covers Vogue Italia, Looking Serene in Advance of Her Orabella Launch

Precious words come from supermodel, businesswoman, activist Bella Hadid, who covers the April 2024 issue of Vogue Italia — and presumably other April Vogues as well.

In response to the question “How are you?”, asked by interviewer Sofia Viganò, Bella responds:

“Very good: for the first time since I can remember I am clear and present. I have the feeling that, by showing my most authentic self, things and people have aligned with my destiny."

Hadid is styled by Alex Jordan Harrington in inner cleansing-mode clothes, devoid of showstopping jewelry and other beautiful distractions, with Zoe Ghertner behind the lens.

Bella’s Texas State of Mind

With her enduring love of horses and now spending major amount of time in Ft. Worth, Texas with her guy National Cutting Horse Association Riders Hall of Famer Adan Banuelos, Bella should be fronting the Fall 2024 Louis Vuitton Men’s cowboys campaign.

Bella Hadid by Bryce Anderson Takes 4 Covers in The Perfect Magazine #6 SS-2024

Bella Hadid by Bryce Anderson Takes 4 Covers in The Perfect Magazine #6 SS-2024

Supermodel Bella Hadid returns to the limelight with these four covers for The Perfect Magazine [IG] Issue Six Spring/Summer 2024.

The shoot is inspired by an image of Debbie Harry performing in 1978, wearing as a dress a poster she had torn from the wall outside the venue.

Bella is wearing a Corbin Shaw tee ‘Screaming in Perfect English’ [above] on the fourth cover — and Corbin is a major source of inspo for the covers.

Anne began her day reflecting on the raw power of Charlamagne Tha God’s views on sitting out the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has called on all Muslim voters to not support US President Biden — to teach us all about ‘raw power’.

In this midst of the American political crisis, is the phrase ‘Raw Fashion Power’ to describe Bella. Is this a stupid comment, or is Bella taking a political side?

Bella Hadid's Futuristic Life Is Marc Jacobs Heavenly, Lensed by Carlijn Jacobs

Bella Hadid's Futuristic Life Is Marc Jacobs Heavenly, Lensed by Carlijn Jacobs

Supermodel Bella Hadid returns to the spotlight in Heaven by Marc Jacobs [IG] fall 2023 campaign. The futuristic images with a transmutation undercurrent were lensed by Carlijn Jacobs [IG], with styling by Danielle Emerson.

The Heaven by Marc Jacobs campaign is focused on new ‘Kiki Group’, a group of 2000s-era ready-to-wear and accessories that meld Y2K nostalgia with a dominant futuristic vibe.

Carlijn Jacobs did explore the idea of multiple selves in the recent Kylie Jenner for Acne Studios campaign, as noted by Fashionista. Beyond that fact, the two campaigns are speaking to visually very different imagery and context.

It’s also truth that Carlijn’s images of Kylie are garnering a lot of praise and — let’s see —this one has 2, 951, 012 IG likes. They average 1.2 million.

Many people believe that Jacobs visually amplified Kylie Jenner in a major new way. AOC is in that group.

Bella Hadid Gives AI a Try with Carlijn Jacobs and Chad Nelson for Vogue Italia May 2023

Supermodel Bella Hadid joins photographer Carlijn Jacobs [IG] and Vogue Italia in a May 2013 cover story driven by AI. Imruh Asha styled Bella and was part of the team working with AI artist Chad Nelson. / Hair by Mustafa Yanaz; makeup by Sam Visser

The team worked on the DALL-E artificial program. Carlijn Jacobs describes a bit of the process:

After coming up with a rough concept for each photo, we shot Bella in the studio, then tried to generate background images with the AI ​​program. I found myself having to translate my vision to the camera into a few key words, called "prompts": a far from easy undertaking for a photographer used to working with images rather than words. At first I tried to give random inputs, but I soon realized that the precision of my instructions was crucial if I was to get anywhere near the idea I had in mind.

Bella Hadid Returns to Swarovski Holiday Campaign After Speaking Against Antisemitism

Bella Hadid Returns to Swarovski Holiday Campaign After Speaking Against Antisemitism

Without naming her client, Bella did ruminate in a recent interview on the contained backlash she received this year about her new role as the Swarovski ambassador.

Bella’s pro-Palestinian, perceived as anti-Israeli posts on IG, created pushback by some Israeli jewelry stores and dealers against Swarovski.

Last week, Bella Hadid did not specifically call out Kanye West, but she noted on Instagram that it would be a “disservice” to herself and her loved ones if she did not “speak up.” She went on to specifically condemn antisemitism and the “things” that have been shared about it recently on “public platforms”.

“To allow any form of antisemitism to slip by, as desensitized as the world has become, it would be a disservice to my friends, the families I have grown up with, the people I love and work with, myself, and even the Palestinian cause as a whole,” she wrote.

She then emphasised that her Palestinian community does not stand for “hatred or violence,” adding that anti-Semitic social media posts “will never be okay”.

Bella, Adut, Jill, Paloma in Victoria's Secret Very Sexy 'Midnight at the Oasis' Fall 2022 Campaign

Smart Sensuality glamour girls Adut Akech, Bella Hadid, Jill Kortleve and Paloma Elsesser channel the ‘70s classic ‘Midnight at the Oasis’ in name and message but not music in the video. Artist Maria Muldaur sang about an empowered sensual woman in the 1973 more likely on the road in Marrakech than Mexico in the classic tune.

Aware or not, VS is also channeling the sensual, political activist feminist Frida Kahlo in this deeply political and threatening moment for American feminism. As Republicans wage a full-throttle assault on women’s rights in America, perhaps Frida Kahlo is guiding them subliminally.

Balenciaga shared really exciting news on the sustainability front, including the brand’s shift to using ‘fourth choice’ leathers. These hides have been rejected for some imperfection, and the term ‘fourth choice’ is theirs.
