Topshop's Holiday Campaign Celebrates the Next Generation of Supermodels with Imaan Hammam, Bella Hadid, and More
1/9Topshop tapped eight of the coolest models of the moment — Imaan Hammam, Bella Hadid, Aneta Pajak, Sophia Ahrens, Grace Hartzel, Malaika Firth, Ella Richards, and Marga Esquivel — for their super glam holiday campaign, photographed by famed photog (and frequent Teen Vogue collaborator) Giampaolo Sgura. How did the fast-fashion brand know exactly what we asked Santa for? Are they Santa?
That's all TBD, but what we do know is exactly what else to add to our wishlist this season. Decked out to deck the halls in velvet, sequins, and fuzzy fur coats, the girls took all the guesswork for holiday party dressing and beyond.
Meet the models — and swoon over their festive looks — ahead.
2/9Bella Hadid on the advice she'd give to models starting out
"You've got to be nice. Friendship is probably the most important thing in the fashion world, otherwise no one really respects you. If you're mean you're not going to go very far."
3/9Aneta Pajak on the coolest place she's ever been
" I’ve travelled to so many places around the world for work, but without a doubt the coolest place for me is the tiny Polish village where I was born. Life there has its own rhythm - people respect nature and traditional values."
4/9Ella Richards on what she'll be doing for the holidays
"Eating too much and watching The Holiday."
5/9Grace Hartzel on her secret talent
"If I weren’t a model I’d be a musician. I don’t play any instruments but I like singing. I’m a good singer. I like to write tunes and my karaoke song would be something by New Order."
6/9Imaan Hammam on what scares her
"In the early days, modelling was nerve-wracking – I had to open my first big show with Anna Wintour and Kanye sitting in the front row and I was shaking. Luckily make-up artist Pat McGrath calmed me down. She’s the sweetest thing."
7/9Malaika Firth on what makes someone a role model
"Someone who’s not afraid to be themselves. It’s about speaking your mind and knowing what you want in life, without worrying what other people think. That’s what people look up to."
8/9Marga Esquivel on her unusual hair color
"I was going through a lot of changes in my life so just wanted to do something different. I wanted something sun-kissed but unusual – inspired by the surfer girls back home."
9/9Sophia Ahrens on what she wanted to be growing up
"Growing up in the countryside I always wanted to be a farmer."
