Equestrian Bella Hadid Wears Fendi Lensed by Blair Getz Mezibov for V Magazine Fall 2019
An accomplished equestrian, Bella Hadid revealed in January 2016 her plans to compete at the 2016 Olympics. Due to her ongoing battle with lyme disease, Bella had to abandon those plans due to particularly severe symptoms that derailed her from riding. The Hadid family lived on a horse ranch for a decade, and Bella has been riding horses since age three. Her mom Yolanda wrote at the time:
"Bella had to give up her lifelong dream of having a professional riding career and a shot at the Olympics due to her severe symptoms and inability to ride.This was the biggest heartbreak of her life and an extremely sensitive subject for her. She is resilient and focused on a new direction--she's made a name for herself in the modeling industry while she struggles with symptoms of chronic Lyme every day."
Today Yolanda Hadid maintains horses at her Pennsylvania family farm, giving both Hadid sisters plenty of time to enjoy their beloved companions. In these images Paul Cavaco styles Bella in modern equestrian-influenced looks from Fendi’s fall 2019 collection. Photographer Blair Getz Mezibov captures Bella for V Magazine.

V Magazine 115 introduces us to Jorja Smith with this intro:
Listening to Jorja Smith’s stunner of a debut album, 2018’s Lost & Found, it’s easy to forget that it’s a work crafted by someone just barely out of their teens. Filled with wry observations about longing, identity, and the politics of race and woman-hood, the album is both astute and beautiful—a soul-infected platter of slinky R&B that sounds like it could have been released during the glory days of British trip-hop, centered around a voice wise beyond its years. So when Smith turns up to talk about it, popping by a sushi restaurant in midtown Manhattan en route to a taping of a late-night talk show, she is the very definition of unassuming. Fresh-faced in shorts and a T-shirt, she is both radiant and almost unrecognizable from the glam femme fatale seen in the videos for breakout singles “Let Me Down” and “Beautiful Little Fools.” Sitting down for a cup of green tea, Smith laughs when I mention that I might have mistaken her for a student on her way to class. “My nan always told me I was an old soul,”she says, “But people forget sometimes that I’ve only just turned 21.”

Vogue wrote about Kennah Lau in spring 2017:
At 25, Kennah Lau represents a new set of models who are entering the business as adults. Spotted at a Vermont coffee shop by scouts at Next Management last year, Lau already had a husband, job, and sense of self when she was pulled into fashion. This season, she made her presence felt at shows like Alexander Wang, Emilio Pucci, and Balenciaga, emerging as one of the most interesting beauties on the scene. Tattooed, androgynous, and undeniably cool, Lau brought something special to each show she walked.

First Look: Gigi Hadid By Mario Sorrenti For V Magazine #114 w/Interview By Serena Williams
Supermodel Gigi Hadid fires up the pages of V Magazine #114, fronting the issue's extreme sports focus. Hadid has "serious athletic chops . . . (was) a hardcore athlete circa high school . . . with a passion for sports (that) propels her fiercely competitive streak and impressive work ethic." George Cortina styles Gigi and action hero images by Mario Sorrenti.
Gigi Hadid and Serena Williams may be almost a generation apart, with one dominating the field of modeling and the other as Tennis's GOAT, but they are close friends for so long that Gigi can't remember how they met. Serena even said that Hadid is "one of the few people on this planet I'd leave my baby for -- for one night."
When these two MVP's get together to talk perfectionism, sister-dynamics and how to inspire current and future generations of powerful women, we're ripe for reading. There is the matter of sisters Bella and Venus, with Gigi offering that she and Bella "are more competitive about holiday cooking" than their careers.
Meanwhile, Serena blazed her way into Round 3 at Wimbledon Wednesday, with no evidence of the serious injury that took her out of the French Open and her good friend Meghan Markle, aka the Duchess of Sussex cheering her on.
