Gigi Hadid is kind of a big deal these days. To recap, the 20-year-old model has walked on just about every major catwalk, is the current face of Maybelline New York and lands a new ad campaign every other week (not to mention she’s part of Taylor Swift’s squad). Which is why we were so excited to sit down with the star to chat all things fashion — like stealing clothes from her mom’s closet, the secret behind her ultra-revealing amfAR Gala gown and why she considers her friends to be her style icons.

She loves leather.
“I’m always a California girl and not even a leather jacket can cover it up, but I do wear more leather now. I push myself a little bit more with fashion and I try and put things in an outfit that I wouldn’t normally, because sometimes the best things are the things that surprise people. I think once you get more comfortable with style it’s easier to work with it.”

She looks to fellow young stars for red-carpet style inspiration.
“It’s funny, I think I have style icons that I love seeing them wear their outfits, but I don’t necessarily think I would be able to pull them off. I think Zendaya has the most incredible style — she’s amazing, same with Rihanna. I think that they’re amazing, but I wouldn’t necessarily wear the same outfit just because I think everyone has a certain presence that they can make an outfit work.”

When she was younger, she used to wear her mom’s (Yolanda Foster, of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) clothes — even to prom!
“In high school, I used to go in [my mom’s] closet and steal things. Like, I never bought a prom dress (and I went to prom all four years of high school), and I always wore my mom’s dresses, or shoes for that matter (we’re the same size).”

But that doesn’t mean she’s OK with her sister, Bella, raiding her wardrobe.
“I’d say I’m generous with certain things, but it’s funny because Bella and I have such different styles. Like, if she’s going to steal a cropped black tank top, we’re going to style it completely different and that’s what’s really cool.”

As for that plunging cutout Tom Ford gown she wore to the Cannes amfAR Gala, it didn’t require double-sided tape.
“It’s funny because people were like, ‘Aren’t you so uncomfortable keeping it all together and into place?,’ but it wasn’t tape — it was a mesh panel — so I didn’t really have to worry about it. I thought that was brilliant on his [Ford’s] part.”

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
