Models of the Moment

I've been absolutely obsessed with today's young models Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid.

Although they've been modeling for some time now, 2014 was their breakout year and they are now the ones to watch out for.


Brunette Beauty
Kendall Jenner (who has recently dropped her last name professionally) has been modeling since age 14 back in 2009. In 2012, she had done shoots with Teen Vogue, Seventeen, and Elle Magazine to name a few. She has also done runway work and swimwear campaigns. 

By 2014, Kendall dominated the runways. She was everywhere from New York, Paris, and Milan Fashion week. The little sister to the infamous Kardashian clan is making a name for herself in the fashion industry. With her long legs and great physique, Kendall was destined to be a model.

I love that Kendall manages to keep her style simple yet very chic. You can tell that she doesn't try too hard to look fashionable. It comes off effortless.

Blonde Bombshell
Gigi Hadid technically started her modeling career at the very young age of 2 years old when she was discovered by Paul Marciano of Guess. She modeled for Baby Guess for a while until her mom had her concentrate on school. In 2011, Gigi signed with IMG Models and reconnected with Guess becoming the face of their 2012 campaign.

By 2014, Gigi was seen all over the runway, fashion magazines, music videos, and also named one of 12 rookies in Sports Illustrated annual swimsuit issue. At such a young age, she is making her mark in the industry. With her Dutch and Palestinian ethnicity, Gigi's blue eyes and pouty lips gives an exotic unique look that's adored in the modeling world.

Gigi has this great edge to her style, but still keeps it casual. Even when wearing denim, she always dresses it up by pairing her booties with a tank or motorcycle jacket.

Kendall and Gigi are best friends outside of modeling

They have both been named members of the emerging fashion movement of "social media modeling" by Harper's Bazaar. Both girls have used Instagram and Twitter to help drive and sustain their modeling careers.

Kendall and Gigi are both from wealthy backgrounds, so it's a pleasure to see them be humble and work hard for what they want. They are the "it" girls right now and I'm not ashamed to say that I'm obsessed with them. These girls are what I call supermodels in the making!

Sincerely,
Lyasia
