Gigi Hadid being racist/problematic thread:
Gigi mocking asian eyes in 2017
Gigi's apology on Weibo (website mainly for China since they can't go on twitter). She only apologised, because she wanted to walk Victoria Secret runway show (she was banned from China in the end and never walked the show).
Gigi Hadid for Vogue Italia in 2015
She never apologised for this one and neither did Vogue Italia.
Another photoshoot for Vogue Italia in 2018
This time we got an apology on her ig stories (basically putting most of the blame on the team, magazine and the industry) she only ever apologised for the 2018 photoshoot
In 2016 Gigi walked in a runway show for Marc Jacobs with her sister Bella and Kendall Jenner. All models had dreadlocks it their hair, it was mainly white models.
Gigi herself never apologised, but this is what Marc Jacobs had to say.
You would think, she would distance herself from him, but no, she walked for his runway show again, the latest being in 2019
In 2018 she was part of Moschino campain shot by Jeremy Scott inspiration by Jackie O meets American conspiracy theories. Basically the models were illegal aliens, it was supposed to shine light at immigration problems in USA.
She even takes photos for ig, so she obviously doesn't see how problematic and racist this whole shoot is. She also never apologised for it and the photographer just kinda said it meant to shine a light at the problem of immigration and not be innappropriate but see for yourself.
This last think may seem bit controversial, but I did ask a muslim person to tell me their opinion on this matter so before I show you other 2 things miss Hadid did, this is what the person had so say on it:
Ps.: they wanted me to add them, but I don't want people to attack them
Okay so first she walked for NYFW in 2017 and she wore this headscarf
Then in 2017 she was on the front page of first print edition of Vogue Arabia and she wore this:
I would like to point out that Gigi is american with her parents being Dutch and Palestinian. She never said she is muslim, maybe non-practising muslim, again never said a word about it. She never really show off her Palestinian roots unless she does something like this.
She gets called out and she brings the part Palestinian card. This was the first print edition and they couldn't even choose a true Arabic person/model for it? She also later said, she felt attack by people saing she shouldn't wear these items
just because she is only half Arabic. Which is not true, many muslims were just angry at her for only using her heritage when she need it, but never really carring it's meanings and values.
