Hadid is a brand name in the fashion world. The legacy goes back to the 1980s when Yolanda Hadid — who, per her own admission to W magazine, had "never seen a fashion magazine" — got a kickstart as a model. With her signature blonde locks and sharp jawline in tow, Yolanda catwalked her way across fashion ramps and magazine covers. For a long time, Yolanda bore the flag of the Hadid family title in the modeling business, that is until she passed it on to her daughter Gigi Hadid. Gigi, easily one of the biggest phenomena in showbiz in recent times, was in a way born a model. Her first assignment was as a toothy, bandana-toting 2-year-old star campaigner for Baby Guess.
After a brief interlude, brought on by Yolanda's insistence that she should only become a full-time model at 18, Gigi returned to the industry — and how. She worked her way up the ladder, becoming one of the highest-paid models in the world (along with her sister, Bella Hadid who is also a prominent model) and gracing endless brands with her star power — from Maybelline to Versace, and, of course, her home ground Guess. Though her daughters have surpassed her in modeling fame, Yolanda has much wisdom to impart to them. One of the most important, as repeated to ET Online, is: "Be kind, because people don't remember what you look like but they will remember how you make them feel."
