Gigi Hadid, transformative beauty
As he points out Gigi Guerretta, Framesi International Artistic Director, «Gigi Hadid’s bob itself exudes sexiness with a deliberately casual touch. We are faced with a short and tailored ripped bob. A contemporary cut and an evolution of the traditional bob. Distinctive features: irregular texture, slightly wavy and lightwith an almost lived-in charm.
