The supermodel who has graced countless magazine covers shines on Harper as they celebrate their 150th anniversary. Gigi of part Middle East parentage talks about a number of issue concerning her as a public person.
On the constant paparazzi attention: “I understand that it comes with the territory, but it’s also very intense to always have to consider. I don’t think it will ever be normal, and if people ever feel like it’s normal, then that’s weird.”
On her anxiety, while walking a runway: “I’ve really been working on trying to get better and to learn from every show, so I take it as a learning experience because I always want to do my best. But I think it’s always going to be nerve-racking for me. There’s always a little thing, like the shoes [are tight] or the dress is heavy or whatever, so that’s what you’re focused on, to make sure your walk is going to go well.”
On her sister, Bella: “She’s so understanding of the demands of this job, and it’s really great that I can talk to her about it because a lot of the time I feel suffocated by my own work ethic and by the expectations I put on myself. It’s really nice when you have people who say, ‘It’s okay to take time for yourself.”
