Gigi Hadid is among the cohort of top models riding the social media superstardom wave. What does she make of this new type of model, deemed by Vogue as the «Instagirls?»<\/p>\n
The Fashion Spot reports:<\/p>\n
She\u2019s among this new crop of muses that include names like Kendall Jenner \u2014 the Instagirls, whose social media presence has effectively helped build their careers. We\u2019re smack-dab in the middle of a new era of up-and-coming supers, a fact not everyone is happy about. Naomi Campbell, who will forever remain a modeling legend, recently lent her opinion on the Instagirl generation, describing their success as \u201ceasy come, easy go\u201d to Meredith Vieira. Of course, it\u2019s tough to please everybody, but it\u2019s becoming clear that these Instagirls are a bit misunderstood.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s not really our fault that we were born in the generation of Instagram,\u201d Gigi told us. \u201cI think that the success of our careers shows that we\u2019re taking advantage of the time. We\u2019re using it in the right ways and we\u2019re becoming real ambassadors for the brands we\u2019re working for.\u201d And of course they are. Gigi herself boasts 1.8 million followers on Instagram and 234,000 on Twitter. That\u2019s quite a following and certainly an attractive perk for brands in search of ambassadors. It\u2019s like having a built-in audience to sell to.
\n\u201cI respect all the supermodels that I still love, Kate, Naomi and all those girls. I look up to them so much and they still have such amazing careers,\u201d Gigi continued. \u201cWe all hope to be like them, and we don\u2019t take anything away from them. We know they worked really hard and everything. We\u2019re working hard, too! We just get to have Instagram also.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
