Most people in the regular workforce form bonds with colleagues they interact with regularly, and it’s no surprise that Hollywood works the same way. Model Gigi Hadid has built a strong professional relationship with renowned fashion photographer Mario Testino and developed a genuine friendship beyond work.
Gigi arrived at the recent Stuart Weitzman opening party in London, accompanied by Mario.

Gigi looked like she just rolled out of bed as she arrived in a silk jumpsuit by Fleur Du Mal. The model fought off the cold London weather with the “Brando” coat by Smythe in black.

We’re not just basing our friendship facts on this one public appearance. Three weeks ago, the model uploaded a birthday shoutout to the photographer that said, “…it will forever be an honor to be in front of your lens & to learn from you; most of all, I’m so grateful to call you my friend.”
We are looking forward to more gorgeous friendship-borne photos from the fashion world’s power tandem.
