It’s official! Zayne Malik has confirmed his relationship with it-girl Gigi Hadid. But did we still have any doubts? After the couple’s selfies and Gigi’s appearance in the singer’s video, there was no longer any uncertainty. But the telling of this beautiful story was bound to keep us waiting. The classic “we’re just friends” episode created a real sense of suspense!
Have we unearthed the 2010 versions of “Britney and Justin”, the new Schiffer-Copperfields or a softer version of Kate and Pete?
The private lives of models, particularly those of 90s supermodels, have always featured prominently in celebrity gazettes. When a model’s path crosses that of a celebrity – and not a billionaire – she’s guaranteed media coverage that will set off the buzz.
The model/musician pairing seems to be a classic in this field. Particularly in the world of “Rock”: the sultry, ultra-stylish side of couples like Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg galvanizes as much by their antics, their out-of-this-world lives, as by their style. The fashion impact is pervasive and enduring. Just look at the campaigns for The Kooples, or Heidi Silmane’s collections for Saint Laurent, which seem to embody the offspring of these mythical couples.
A new winning couple?
HadidXMalik gives the young man a more mature image, far removed from those Boys Band years. With the most talked-about model of the moment, he’s given himself a prominent place on the Tumblr that analyzes models’ looks. An older audience, but above all a sharper one.
As for Gigi, not only does she keep the attention, but she also has a string of jealous fans! We’ll have to keep up the good work at least until Valentine’s Day. Just a few more days.
A couple more in the media than in style? You be the judge. In the meantime, a subjective selection of timeless couples:
The 60’s artist couple: Godard and Karina
Year 90′: Top and legendary Rock Star
Underground and hype: the model couple
And a special mention for Léo DiCaprio ( From Kate Moss to Toni Garn via Gisèle Büdchen or Eva Herzigova…).
