Gigi Hadid in Tom Ford's Beauty 2014 Summer Collection
Gigi Hadid has appeared in many of Tom Ford's campaign shoots. She is an American Fashion Model from New York City (originally born in Los Angeles 1995). Gigi has one 'Model of the Year' for 2015 at the First Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards at just 19 years old! At 2 years old she was discovered by Baby Guess and now as an adult has done 3 campaigns with Guess. She has also been signed with IMG Models since 2011. I think this picture is so glamourous, she looks like a superstar. Flawless.

Patrick Schwarzenegger and Gigi Hadid in Tom Ford A/W 2014 Eyewear Collection Campaign
Patrick Schwarzenegger had his big opportunity in his modelling career to do this shoot for Tom Ford along with Gigi Hadid. He is of course the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger who helped him find his company Project360 when he was 15 which is a philanthropic men's clothing line. Patrick has been signed with LA Models and his hoping his modelling career will help promote his company. This Tom Ford campaign is his most recent shoot. If I'm honest I think Gigi is stealing the show in this shoot but maybe because I don't think Patrick's profile is the most attractive pose for him. There's another image of this campaign where they both look as equally good and fitting for the brand.

Cara Delevingne in Tom Ford Black Orchid Fragrance 2014 Ad Campaigne
Cara Delevingne is a world renounced English top model as I'm sure you know, and if you don't then get in the know! She has modelled for many of the top designer brands around and is currently the face of Burberry's Beauty campaign. Cara was signed with Storm Model Management in 2009 and modelled Burberry and Clements Ribeiro runways in 2010. Burberry clearly love her as she has been the featured in their S/S 2011 Campaign and has been the face of them for their S/S 2012 Campaign! She has walked in the Victoria's Secret Show in 2012 and 2013 as well as being the face of Vogue many times. She has also been the face of She won the 'Model of the Year' at the British Fashion Awards in 2012 and 2014. This Tom Ford ad of Cara is so beautiful as her skin looks so smooth. It makes me feel so peaceful because of the water and the flowers. I love the Black Orchid perfume bottle design too because of it's originality in being black and not just a normal glass bottle.
