Gigi Hadid's latest cashmere launch inspired by New York
The new line was inspired by New York, according to Hadid, who founded her brand in 2022.
A post shared by Gigi Hadid (@gigihadid)
'I'm endlessly inspired by New York City — a place I've called home for many years — and the notion that we're all guests here. For our collection, we embrace the great duality every New Yorker faces in Summer: the thrill of a busy day in the city, paired with the urge to hop in a car with friends and escape to somewhere quiet and laid-back. No matter where you find yourself, our cashmere pieces embrace a spirit of timelessness that always works,' Hadid is quoted as saying on the Guest in Residence Instagram page.
The launch was complemented by a video campaign shared on social media, in which Hadid is joined by fellow models as they explore New York in the summer.
Paolo Santosuosso acted as the campaign's art director, while the looks were styled by Elizabeth Fraser-Bell.
Hadid launched her clothing label, which features soft, colorful knitwear, in September 2022.

'Over the last handful of years, I didn't want to be backed into starting my own line just because there was an offer on the table or a deal to be made,' she wrote to her followers on Instagram at the time.
'The earliest days of Guest in Residence came about when I started to question the cashmere market, and those answers gave me a path,' she added.
'I believe that because of its sustainable qualities — natural and made to cherish and to pass down — cashmere is a luxury that should be more accessible.'
Celebrities including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Swift and Bradley Cooper have been spotted wearing the label's designs.
In June, Hadid also unveiled a new campaign with Brazilian footwear brand Havaianas.
The model, who launched a line with the flip flop label, starred in a vintage-inspired series of photographs. In the shots, she shows off slippers from her collection with the brand and is seen wearing retro outfits on a beach.

What We Are Reading Today: ‘A Beautiful Mind'
Author: Sylvia Nasar Sylvia Nasar's 'A Beautiful Mind' from 1998 chronicles the extraordinary life of John Nash, the mathematician who shared the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences with John Harsanyi and Reinhard Selten for groundbreaking work in game theory. Nasar explores Nash's genius, his battle with schizophrenia, and his unexpected recovery, crafting a rich portrait of one of the 20th century's most complex minds. Born in Bluefield, West Virginia, Nash's exceptional intellect distinguished him from an early age. Nasar carefully traces his academic journey, spotlighting revolutionary concepts like the Nash equilibrium, transformative for economics and strategic thought. Nasar also unflinchingly details his paranoia and delusions, and the heavy toll they took on his career and family. Most compelling is Nash's eventual recovery — a slow, medically unusual journey central to his story. Nasar's writing blends insight with precision. She weaves personal history, scientific context, and accessible explanations, making the mathematician graspable while honoring his resilience. This balance ensures value for scholars and casual readers alike. The 2001 movie starring Russell Crowe is certainly gripping and brought Nash's story to a huge audience. I remember being moved by it myself, but it takes massive creative liberties, simplifying the science and dramatizing his relationships for the screen. I would suggest reading Nasar's book by way of contrast as it feels like it uncovers the real, layered truth behind the headlines. After reading it I appreciated so much more deeply the messy, complex reality of his life as opposed to the cinematic hero arc. It is not just more accurate; it offers a richer, more profound understanding of who Nash truly was — honoring both his towering intellect and the quiet, enduring strength he and his wife Alicia showed. This elegant mathematical insight, a result of his turbulent genius, transcends economics to illuminate everything, from nuclear standoffs to everyday competition. That such a universal principle emerged amid his personal struggle with mental illness makes 'A Beautiful Mind' not just a biography, but a testament to the fragile duality of brilliance.

Venus Williams is back in tennis and wishes Serena would come out of retirement to join the fun
Venus Williams is back on the tennis scene ready to compete for the first time in more than a year, and while she smiled or laughed frequently Sunday while discussing her return at the DC Open, there was something that would make her even happier: if her younger sister Serena were along for the ride. 'I keep saying to my team: The only thing that would make this better is if she was here. Like, we always did everything together, so of course I miss her,' Venus said when asked about a recent video on social media that showed Serena swinging a racket. 'But if she comes back, I'm sure she'll let y'all know.' That, of course, was said with a wide grin. Serena, 43, hasn't played since the 2022 US Open, when she declared she was evolving away from the sport she dominated for stretches on the way to 23 Grand Slam singles titles and an additional 14 in doubles with Venus. 'I don't know what she's going to do. I don't ask those questions,' Venus said a day before the hard-court tournament in the nation's capital begins. 'I think we always hit the ball because that's who we are. We're always hitting.' She said it was during a recent practice session of hers that Serena showed up and joined in for about 15 or 20 minutes. 'She can take six months off, and she clocks it clean,' Venus said. 'You can't teach that kind of talent. She's just so good.' For all the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app. They both were the best around at one point. Both reached No. 1 in the rankings. Venus, who turned 45 last month, won seven major singles championships – two at the US Open and five at Wimbledon. Her last tournament was in March 2024 at the Miami Open, where she exited in the first round. It's been so long that the official WTA Tour website lists her as inactive. 'This is very special for me to come back and play tennis,' Venus said. 'I think it's a surprise for the fans – and a surprise in general, as I hold my cards tight.' Sure does. It came as a bit of a shock to the tennis world when her appearance in Washington via a wild-card invitation was announced a week ago. Her team had reached out to DC Open chairman Mark Ein via text in April to gauge whether he'd be open to having Venus at an event she last entered in 2022. He said he needed two seconds to reply: 'Of course.' 'She's such an icon of the sport – and importantly, both on and off the court,' Ein said in an interview. 'So anytime you can have her engaged and have the spotlight on her and everything she's done and continues to do, it's hugely positive.' What did she miss the most while away from the tour? 'All the times that I had and, of course, the adrenaline, all those things,' Venus said. 'Just the pure fun of playing the game, the fun of the challenge, overcoming – when you play, you overcome so many challenges: your opponents, the conditions, a lot of times you have to overcome yourself. Those things are very exciting.' When asked why she's getting back on court, Venus offered a simple response: 'Why not?' As for whether this is a one-stop tour or she plans to play elsewhere, she wasn't prepared to say much. 'I'm just here for now, and who knows?' Venus said. 'Maybe there's more. … But at the moment, I'm focused just on this. I haven't played in a year. There is no doubt I can play tennis, but obviously coming back to play matches, it takes time to get in the swing of things. I definitely feel I'll play well. I'm still the same player. I'm a big hitter. I hit big. This is my brand.'
