Gigi Hadid was told that no body for models

24-year-old recalled her e-D magazine beginnings in the fashion industry half a decade ago when the famous French designer Jean Paul Gaulier was the first to prove whether she could become a model.

I was at the end of high school, and I had the body forms of a volleyball player. I loved those body forms. I knew how hard I had worked to have those muscles and to be more of a part of the body I wanted, actually, those body forms I miss now. Back then, people were hard on me trying to tell me I didn't have body forms to become models”.

The supermodel said that Gaullier had given him a garment that had little to cover his body.

At that time, there were designers or designers who would pick me up in their sprays, but they usually gave me clothes that covered my body. So he made me feel like he wanted me to shine that way and that meant a lot to me as a new model. I know he's done this for a lot of other people too.”

In February 2018, since Hadid's body forms were back in the midst of criticism, the model revealed that she was facing an autoimmune disease.

For all of you who are so determined to understand why my body has changed so much in recent years, you probably don't know when I started my career I wasn't diagnosed with Hashimoto. All of you who told me that I was “very healthy for this” industry you've only seen exasperation and gathering of water”.

I can be <x1-mechanical” for you, actually I don't want to be that weak, but that's how I feel better and healthier. In fact I'm still learning how to grow up together with my body every day like all of you”, she had cleared up.
