Meet Guest In Residence, Gigi Hadid’s New Knitwear Line
Bring on the sweater weather
An Instagram bio is one’s resume in short. In fact, it serves as an individual’s loudspeaker to all things hobbies, occupations and celeb-status. So, when supermodel Gigi Hadid changed hers to “founder, creative director @guestinresidence,” we just knew something was in the works.
The Palestinian-American offered a peek-a-boo style reveal of her latest project— a knitwear line under the guise of ‘Guest in Residence‘— last week, in an Instagram carousel of colours, cashmere and collaborations.
The images are telling of Gigi’s ‘aye-aye Captain’ vision, serving as both the venture’s CEO and creative director; in one, the model is analysing colour swatches alongside Gabrielle Karefa-Johnson, a stylist, and CJ Kim, a knitwear designer who claims to, “make sweaters and stuff.” In another, she’s caught taking a selfie in an orange cashmere jumper— a nod to one of the collection’s potential pieces of apparel.
The new-mum captioned the post, “been workin on something . . . with love, @guestinresidence ?? :),” dropping 10 tid-bits to her 75 million fans and hungry sweater enthusiasts alike.
Beyond sharing the project’s behind-the-scenes, the label has also been birthed into the realm of social media via the creation of the official @guestinresidence Instagram account and its accompanying website. Despite remaining post-barren, the page boasts over 13,000 followers with a bio that simply screams “KNITTERS.” Clearly, we know what to expect.
Having not yet pencilled in a date for the brand’s official release or price range, Gigi’s Insta-pics have revealed that her cosy duds will be made of 100% cashmere.
No matter the fabric nor the insulation, what remains certain is that for someone who dresses- and well- for a living, we can only get in line for what the queen of knits has to offer.
