To celebrate her Vogue<\/em> cover with best friend Kendall Jenner<\/a>, Gigi Hadid wore a sparkling patchwork<\/a>, quilt-inspired gown that’s fun, young, a bit Americana and so Gigi Hadid<\/a>-ish. Allow me to explain.<\/p>\n Here’s the dress she wore to a party celebrating the launch of Vogue<\/em>‘s October issue at Monsieur in the East Village. Pretty, right? Beads and sequins add sparkle, there’s lots of textures and patterns, it’s got sort of a quilt pattern going on that calls to mind Hadid’s all-American pedigree. She’s worked with brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren, and this fits right in with that sporty aesthetic. Her earrings look a little like soda can tabs, how fun! And she arrived with boyfriend<\/a> Bradley Cooper<\/a>, cute cute cute.<\/p>\n XNY\/Star Max<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Then you might realize that her dress is of a piece with the shorter one she’s wearing on the cover<\/a> of the very magazine the party is for. A-ha! A theme emerges!<\/em> The western-wear for fall carries over from print to sidewalk.<\/p>\n But here’s where I’m going to take you back, dear reader, to a piece of Gigi Hadid lore that, as the kids say, lives in my mind rent free. Do you remember how she decorated her old apartment<\/a>? With the colored pasta in the cabinets? This is a woman who is not just fond of patterns; she is enamored of them. The couch where every cushion is a different style!<\/p>\n Granted, this was five years ago, and maybe her taste has changed, but dear goodness I hope it hasn’t changed too much, because I have only grown fonder of this apartment in the time since. Gigi loves maximalism and I love that for Gigi. She should<\/em> surround herself with all things colorful and bright and fun and she should<\/em> wear lots of patterns and she looks beautiful<\/em> in that dress! More Gigi Hadid-core! More<\/em>!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
