Gigi & Bella Hadid Preview 'Double Trouble' By Steven Klein For V Magazine Fall 2015 AOC Fashion
V Magazine dives into the archives, sharing portions of China Machado’s interview with fashion’s famed Hadid sisters who are bigger names than ever today. V writes:
A lot has changed since China Machado started modeling in 1954. As the first non-Caucasian model to appear on the cover of a major American fashion magazine (Harper’s Bazaar, 1959), she’s seen it all and can attest to the diva stereotypes the industry has created and even celebrated. Not so today: in 2015’s catwalk culture, a model’s calling card is equal parts her Instagram account and her agency, making the atmosphere nothing short of a willing surveil- lance state. Love or hate it, the public eye’s acute focus on where every working model is at any given time—and with whom—has changed the name of the game to something resembling political democracy.
