I was working the flight from jfk to lhr for fashion week. Gigi was in my section in business class and her and her family were by far the nicest celebrities I’ve ever met. And trust me there were a LOT on that flight alone. When I asked for a photo Gigi said “yes but we need better lighting” and processed to open the planes window and take a photo with me. Truly the best!

[@sydswife2333]

She’s the sweetest!!

[@nini-qc1qd]

I've worked with Bella in the past and she's just the NICEST. If you didn't already know her, you'd think she wasn't raised by millionaires (not that there's anything wrong with it!). I know their mom doesn't have the best reputation but whoever raised Gigi and Bella did a great job.

[@sydswife2333]

[@yourcelebrityangle]

@@nini-qc1qd her mother has a bad reputation because she intervenes, but that does not necessarily means a bad mother, to each their own, maybe she should step back as they are already adults but I imagined she was there always when they were kids and teens

[@-pekhenkojulya]

I sometimes think about the fact that they do good deeds only to have good reviews about them. And when they come home they say that they hate everyone. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@bulgariantranslator4080]

I met Gigi with her mom and David Foster at the Grammy Museum when Seal was performing probably 10 years ago. She was sitting a few seats away from me so I first noticed this tall, thin and very beautiful girl. What was the most impressive thing was her attitude-Very polite, kind and sweet. I wanted to tell her mother how she she had raised her daughter but I did not...later on I heard from other people that Gigi is very well raised, very kind and down to earth. GIGI, that makes you so much more beautiful! I wish you all the success in the world! Your star will shine brighter! Kindness is what is lacking in the world and we need more people like you. Will definitely buy something from your line to support you! :)

[@dorcaswinter8296]

its unbelievable that shes only 27 but has been in the industry for a decade. The things that woman has probably experienced at that young age must be crazy.

Gigi got her mom's face (even though she tells her to eat less fast more) and she has her father's eyes. A beautiful combination

[@a.f.5490]

Gigi, please. The money. That's it. There are billions of girls who don't have the money that creates opportunity. That's it. You were lucky to have good parents with money.

Go to the beginning of the video. She's one of the most influential celebrities in the world. That's why they are covering this story.

She has nice business fashion idea that safe everyone, comfy clothing is the thing should be trending.

[@christianfarias9285]

I'm happy for her and all, but mainstream news stations need to be realistic with what they're advertising to the masses...I imagine the majority of people watching this aren't wealthy. How can you justify spending $300 on a sweater when I buy leather boots (that last) for less than $200. I think this is tone-deaf, and most Americans can't afford a cashmere sweater that's t-shirt thin, especially in this economy. This is solely to profit her family, which, mind you, already has millions of dollars...I like how she wants people to have to 'save' to buy a piece, but she should create a product for everyone, not just the upper-middle class and wealthy.

[@fadleadam]

is she forcing u to buy her items? lmao ur a grown person complaining about something that doesn't affect u...dont buy if u dont like...easy as that...

[@jennybaber3563]

@@fadleadam It is not about whether she is forcing anyone to buy her stuff? Why is her story broadcast then on a channel where the everyday person is watching?? The Today Show??? How much money went to them for this story... to broadcast to the everyday folks who you say "don't buy it if u don't like"? Ridiculous if you can't see the irony of your statement! This chic and her high priced dream of fashion will be gone in "three weeks" Betcha! lolol

[@ineso3398]

Cashmere is a very scarce expenses material

[@Harryet370]

Have you ever thought these people like her family has their own ties with certain media( or sponsor them ) because they need them ??Everything is business. So of course media will advertise them. All artists do that, thats why they have managers, even though she is not an artist. She is a model who s trying to get her own clothes line, nothing wrong with that. Lets wait and see how sales will be. I do not understand what do these people call hard work. Models do not need talent. They just put on designed clothes and walk. That is it. They try to hard to show off as much as possible , by being on media, all the time . Good luck on her clothing line. Her rich family can by her 300$ boxers.

Not everyone has been brought up with not one silver spoon, but two silver spoons in their mouth. $300 for cashmere boxers that look ho-hum? Smh

Aren't there any high profile people who manufacture in America ? I know that they manufacture oversees so that they can make MORE MONEY than they would if they manufactured in America but hopefully someday someone who is starting to do pretty good financially will actually manufacture in America and create jobs here ... where's the LOYALTY to their country ... ? And I say that to all of them . Look at all the high profile people who have clothing lines manufactured overseas as well as perfume and cologne lines , footwear , other products .
