Bella Hadid, who signed with IMG and has walked the runways for several designers like Chanel, Tom Ford and Balmain, is a powerhouse in the fashion industry in her own right. Numerous magazines, such as Vogue, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar, have featured Bella on their covers. She has also starred in advertisements for Givenchy, Bulgari Calvin Klein, and others. However, the supermodel had previously decided to leave the modelling industry after ten years of career. Now, she recently spoke with Allure magazine about her decision to concentrate on her mental and physical health over the last year.
“After 10 years of modelling, I realized I was putting so much energy and love and effort into something that, in the long run, wasn’t necessarily giving it back to me,” she said.
She also relocated to Texas to begin a fresh chapter with her partner Adan Banuelos. The model called this new phase of her life with her close friends and family the “best time,” adding that she does not feel like she has to put in “too much” effort in order to go out.
Even on days when she doesn’t feel her best, Bella claims that being in a situation where she can choose her daily outfits and the amount of face time she wants to devote is something extremely unique for her.
“For the first time now, I’m not putting on a fake face. If I don’t feel good, I won’t go. If I don’t feel good, I take time for myself. And I’ve never had the opportunity to do that or say that before,” Hadid told the publication.
She went on to claim that today, when people see her in photos and comment on how happy she seems, it’s because she “genuinely” is.
“I am feeling better; my bad days now were my old good days.”
After more than ten years of severe health problems, including “100+ days of Lyme, chronic disease, [co-infection] treatment [and] almost 15 years of invisible suffering,” she came clean about her battle with Lyme disease on Instagram in August, stating that she is “finally healthy.”
Hadid relocated to Texas after that, where she rekindled her romance with Banuelos and is currently introducing Orebella, her debut fragrance line.
According to Allure, the fragrance, which makes its premiere on Thursday, May 2, is composed of a blend of plant oils, such as camellia, jojoba, shea, olive, and sweet almond, over a glycerine base.
She told Allure that while she was growing up, she would go to a health food shop close to her family’s farm in Pennsylvania and experiment with different essential oil aroma combinations with glycerin until she found something truly unique. Bella enjoyed the feeling of having something unique to herself.
“I was trying to make them as unique as possible so that when I put them on my body, it felt singular to me,” added Bella.
Because she was passionate about the product, she produced the smell profiles, made investor pitches, and built the brand from the bottom up.
