Gigi And Bella Hadid Reveal They Have A Newly-Discovered Half-Sister
The world's most famous model sisters have revealed that they have another half-sister, destined for a career in fashion design In a revelation that may bring another Hadid into the fashion industry fold, supermodel sisters Bella and Gigi Hadid have shared that they recently connected with a previously unknown half-sister, Aydan Nix. The sisters confirmed the news in a joint statement to the Daily Mail, explaining that Aydan, now 23, is the daughter of their father, real estate developer Mohamed Hadid, and Terri Hatfield Dull. The relationship took place after Mohamed's divorce from Yolanda Hadid in 2001. 'Over 20 years ago, our dad, while single, had a brief relationship that led to a pregnancy,' the Palestinian-Dutch sisters revealed, adding that they only learned of Aydan's existence recently. Aydan was raised in Florida by the man she had always known as her father—until his unexpected death when she was 19. 'Aydan was born and raised in Florida, growing up with the man she lovingly knew as her father until his sudden passing when she was 19,' the statement read. It was this loss that prompted her to 'take a genetic test out of curiosity,' ultimately leading her to discover her 'biological connection' to the Hadid family. According to Bella and Gigi, the siblings established contact with Aydan in late 2023. Although details about Aydan's life remain limited, it is understood she resides in New York City and is a recent graduate of Parsons School of Design, with aspirations of pursuing a career in fashion. The Hadid siblings—Bella, 28, Gigi, 30, and Anwar, 25—are well known for their close family ties. They also have two older half-sisters, Alana Hadid, 39, and Marielle Hadid, 44, from Mohamed's earlier marriage to Mary Butler. 'We've cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family,' they shared. In their statement, the sisters also voiced their desire to protect Aydan's privacy as she navigates this personal development. 'As siblings, we've had many open and loving conversations—with Aydan included—about how to support and protect her,' they said. 'Aydan and her family value their privacy, and we fully respect that. We kindly ask others to do the same and honour her wish and right to her anonymity as she continues her life as a young woman in New York.'

Stine Goya Resort 2026 Collection
As resort collections arrive in stores in November, this season is sometimes referred to as 'holiday.' While most designers are thinking about year-end parties or vacations that extend into 2026, Stine Goya decided to project forward. 'You want to reset, refresh, and let go of things that no longer serve you,' she said on a call, 'to create this clean slate.' To that end, she asked her staff to share 'small goals…that could be a grounding thing for a New Year's kind of resolution.' After the resolutions were collated, senior print designer Blanca Alomar Bonnín translated the more recurring ones—including reading, drinking more water, buying flowers more frequently, taking up ceramics, and traveling to Italy—into storytelling prints and motifs. These hyggelig themes also inspired Goya's first foray into home textiles, which seems like an idea just waiting to happen. Not only have interiors featured in the brand's prints over time, but the designer has recently hosted shows in her atelier and on the block where she lives. Goya didn't neglect the going-out side of things; there are a great number of pretty dresses, the flirtiest in black with a short balloon skirt. The flower of the season is the petunia, which Bonnín rendered in crayon and then blurred; it was used on a tent dress with festive satin ruffles on the straps. The most romantic option is a slightly structured dress in a menswear fabric scattered with dimensional floral pom-poms; its delicately gathered corset camisole can be worn on or off the shoulder. A mocha-hued look with a jersey top and a chiffon skirt printed with white polka dots could be worn to the office with a jacket and loafers, or zhuzhed up with a pair of heels should its wearer resolve to paint the town red.

Rhode Island School of Design Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Twelve graduating students, 74 looks, and a number of wow! moments describe RISD Apparel's graduation show. The small size of the class, plus the organization of the presentation, allowed for a richer understanding of the students' work than is often possible with group shows. A read-through of the designers' collections reveal how deeply engaged this class was with their work, which is a tribute to the department's collaborative process.'I think it's important for them to make a statement about what they think is powerful and beautiful, and then that will carry them further,' said department head Gwen Van Den Eijnde. 'In an art school, you need to engage with fundamental research…those ideas will carry further, much further than your graduation. It's not just a one year, nine month project, it's really something that needs to be close to your interests and that will dictate the trajectory of your professional steps.' It often seems that there's a collective consciousness in fashion, and some of the students' collections synced with larger trends afoot, among them a preoccupation with the future. So Avidron's exploration of a 'far-future' where technology has subsumed humanity took the form of dimensional designs with cubist aspects. In this irregularity is hope: As the designer wrote: 'Imperfection is a key trait that will last beyond humanity…Despite its technological context, it conveys the reflection that as organic beings, we provide unique and important characteristics that cannot be machined out.' Another overarching fall trend was flight's connection to freedom. This was explored by Bryce Satow, who incorporated feathers and bird symbolism, to 'act,' he wrote, 'as these little magic talismans that can help you ascend.' To find a way to rise above, or find a middle way, between fear and desire, Satow referred to philosopher Carl Jung's idea of the female part of the male psyche, 'the anima.' He created a cast of characters who were dressed for spectacle—and a night out—in body-enhancing, feathered clothes. In his Bird Boy collection, Minwoo Matthew Oh explored through the lens of his Korean and American cultural background. Service is compulsory in his birth country and Oh's work was defined by a dandyish militarism. 'The work isn't supposed to be dark or meant to be self-destructing in any way. It's just my way of trying to navigate my world,' he wrote.
