bite model profile ion Week she walked for Topshop Unique and Giles, and at Milan Fashion Week for Missoni, Bottega Ven- eta, Philipp Plein, and Moschino. At the Paris Fashion Week, she strutted down the runway for Balmain and lat- er on, in December 2015, she made her grand Chanel de- but walking for the first time in the luxury brand’s Méti- ers d’Art show in Rome. Her print work, however, had accumulated during all this time, with her first cover being on Jalouse Magazine in December 2014. She was also featured on Day 27 of Love Magazine’s Love Advent. By the following Novem- ber, Bella saw herself on another cover for Seventeen , and with an impressive portfolio which featured work with Vogue Australia, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, GQ, Town and Country, Vogue Girl Japan, Pop Magazine, Glamour and several other magazines, and even a spread for CR Fash- ion Book’s ‘Body Book’ and ‘Fantasy Campaigns’. Her cover features also continued to accumulate with work in Grey Magazine, Jalouse Magazine, V Maga- zine (with sister Gigi), Editorialist, Unconditional Maga- zine, Wonderland’s 10th Birthday Issue, S Moda, Evening Standard, Teen Vogue, and Twin Magazine F/W issue. And as if this wasn’t enough, Bella was featured in Top- shop’s Holiday campaign and was booked to appear with her sister in Balmain’s 2105 Fall ad campaign. And then the big kahuna: she starred in Victoria Secret’s Holiday for their junior/younger line, PINK with other spokes- models, Rachel Hilbert, and Devon Windsor. Phew, you’d think this chic would need a serious break by now, but she just kept on going and was also featured in the Spring 2015 ad campaign for Botkier Handbags and the Fall 2015 ad campaign for Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply, as well as the ad spread for Boghossian Jewels. After this, Bella was also a co-star in Samsung’s Fall/Win- ter Look Book, which blended both fashion and technol- ogy with Xiao Wen Ju. By 2016, one couldn’t open a fashion magazine without seeing Miss Bella somewhere or seeing/hearing about her fabulous personal life in the media. She was truly becom- ing one of the next big Insta-supermodels. Throughout 2016 and 2017, she again worked with Chanel and made her Chanel Couture debut during Paris Haute Couture Spring/Summer Fashion Week, and then walked exclu- sively for Givenchy, Miu Miu, and Chanel during Paris Fashion Week. She went on to walk for FentyxPuma in New York Fashion Week and later made her debut in the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia opening and closing for the Misha Resort 2017 show. As time went on, she added the likes of Fendi, Versace, Dior, Ralph Lauren, Anna Sui, Michael Kors, and Al- exandre Vauthier, Bottega Veneta, Versus Versace, Max Mara, Moschino and Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini to her bursting portfolio. However, on November 30, Bella earned another opportunity with Victoria’s Secret, but this time she walked in her first Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, wearing two looks, one from their Bright Night Angels segment which featured a pair of wings, and an- other from the Secret Angels collection. Since then she has gone on to work with even more brands and labels such as TAG Heuer, Nike, NARS, Carolina Herrera, Brandon Maxwell, Oscar de la Renta, Anna Sui, Lanvin, Prabal Gurung, Zadig et Voltaire, Off-White, Tommy Hilfiger, and becoming an ambassador for Dior Beauty, not to mention other perfume and jewellery campaigns. Each of these prestigious bookings would make any model swoon to be sure, but while many would gloat over such success, Bella has always maintained an air of professionalism and humility that has given her a reputa- tion as someone who works damn hard for what she has and is truly sweet and grateful for her accomplishments. She grew up the daughter of a multi-millionaire and had a lifestyle the mass majority of the world can only dream about, but while she may have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she definitely has not taken a bite from it. “At the end of the day, I think working this much is going to give me a better platform to do bigger things in the world,” she says. “I’m not saying I don’t love my job, but people think modelling is just a bullsh*t thing to become
