DUBAI: US Dutch Palestinian supermodel Gigi Hadid took to Instagram to show off snaps from her trip to Paris this week, including behind-the-scenes shots from the jury meeting of the coveted ANDAM Fashion Award.
Hadid, who is part of the jury, was on hand as designer Louis Gabriel Nouchi took home the coveted award on Thursday, beating five other finalists to score $327,645 and a one-year mentorship from Chloé CEO Riccardo Bellini.

The award was established in 1989 and is “recognized as a benchmark for designers, fashion professionals, and members of the international press, and as a pathway for young designers,” according to the award’s website.
Paris-based Nouchi accepted the prize during a ceremony at the Palais-Royal’s gardens in the French capital. He joins a well-regarded list of previous winners, including Viktor & Rolf, Christophe Lemaire, Jeremy Scott, Bianca Saunders and Marine Serre.
Nouchi, who founded his label in 2017, seeks to challenge traditional masculine style tropes through genderless collections inspired by literary and film references.
Gigi Hadid attended the ceremony wearing a statement black look from Chloé, styled by Mimi Cuttrell. Cuttrell also styled Hadid for the 2023 Met Gala in May, where she wore a sheer Givenchy couture look.
Meanwhile, Hadid has had a busy time in France and also walked the runway for French luxury label Jacquemus late last week.

The label invited guests to the canals of Château de Versailles for its Spring/Summer 2024 "LE CHOUCHOU" collection runway presentation where models including Hadid, Loli Bahia and Mona Tougaard showed off the line.
Hadid showed off a lingerie-style number, while French Algerian model Bahia wore an oversized jacket in a peachy cream shade.
Celebrity guests, including actress-director Eva Longoria, David and Victoria Beckham and Italian actress Monica Bellucci, watched the show from dainty white boats lined up along the runway.
Translucent lingerie and backless shirts were joined by laced vests and array of square-toed footwear in the form of ballet pumps and loafers in the new collection.
“A lil-bit of a-lot that got done in Paris this week (sic),” Hadid captioned a carousel of photos that highlighted key moments from her time in Paris. The model included shots of the runway show, as well as moments in her hotel room.
