The fashion world is buzzing with whispers of a possible collaboration between Bella Hadid, a global supermodel known for her classic beauty, and Alessandro Michele, the renowned designer who recently took the helm at Valentino.
This speculation arose after Hadid was photographed leaving a Valentino showroom in Paris, just ahead of Michele’s debut catwalk for the Italian fashion house. While Hadid is known for her glamorous style, she’s never walked the runway for Michele’s previous ventures, notably Gucci, which favored a more unconventional, eclectic aesthetic.
Hadid’s appearance at the Valentino showroom has sparked excitement, as it could signal her long-awaited return to the fashion week scene. She took a break from modeling last August to focus on her health after a severe Lyme disease flare-up, stating, “I’ll be back when I’m ready.”
While she has recently reemerged in the public eye, launching a perfume brand and making appearances at various events, Hadid has yet to grace the runway. A Michele-designed spectacle would provide a grand stage for her comeback, but other brands like Saint Laurent or Miu Miu might also be contenders for her return.
The fashion world eagerly awaits Hadid’s next move, as her presence on the runway, especially under Michele’s direction, promises to be a captivating event.
