Love Magazine’s latest issue is star-studded and colourful. Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Selena Gomez, Adriana Lima and more are featured in separate editorials for the magazine. Poppy Delevingne also plays Senior Contributing Editor for the Spring/Summer 2016 ‘Love Club’ issue.
Gigi, in an exclusive chat with the magazine, talked about her “weird” walk and being a supermodel.
On being a supermodel: ‘I was always told as a kid that you need five Vogue covers to be a supermodel. I don’t know if I consider myself a supermodel but that was what I was told you need to do.’ She begins counting hers from the last 12 months off on one hand. We meet in November, two days before the release of her fifth. ‘There was Italia, Netherlands, Brazil, Spain. There’s another one. I’m forgetting. I think I got six, shooting another tomorrow, another comes out in a couple of weeks in the UK. Crazy, right?’
On her ‘weird’ walk and finally accepting she’s different: ‘I was with Naomi (Campbell) a couple of weeks before the VS show. She said, “Don’t apologise, don’t do it. You are perfect the way you are. Everyone said my walk was weird too.”’ Naomi invited Gigi to her hotel for a quick workshop. ‘I was like, OK. I go to her hotel and we end up practising walking in the hallway of the hotel. Italian families are coming out to watch and she’s like, “Don’t look at them, keep walking, they’re your audience.” The elevator would open and the waiter would come out – “Don’t look at him, he’s your audience, do a spin and keep going.” It was terrifying, walking in front of this Italian grandmother and her kid. After getting a lot of different opinions about my past Fashion Week I went into the VS show thinking, “Yeah. Maybe I am different, but I have heard Naomi saying, ‘Bitch better have my money after I walked for her.’ So it’s going to be fine.” If people don’t like how I walk then they don’t have to watch.’
