She's Not New to the Designing World

Diving head-first into the world of clothing designing isn't exactly new territory for the busy mom of 23-month-old daughter Khai, who she shares with ex Zayn Malik. Earlier this year, the supermodel announced that she is teaming up with a childhood friend, Francesca Aiello, founder of Frankies Bikinis, for a new swimwear collection.

The two long-time friends grew up together in Malibu, California. "We designed this collection with so much love, and I believe that really shines through in the details," Hadid said in a press release. "Both Frank and I have very social lives but also are big homebodies, and the collection really embodies that side of us." People reported in April of this year that the 98-piece collection would be released in two drops - one in May and one in June and includes a variety of swimwear and loungewear.
