Loving her trip to India, Gigi Hadid captioned her post:
“The @nmacc.india Gala was a celebration of Indian craftsmanship, and its inspiration on fashion internationally, with the opening of the exhibit ‘India in Fashion: The Impact of Indian Dress and Textiles on the Fashionable Imagination’, curated by the iconic @hamishbowles!
“It was my honour and joy to showcase this masterpiece designed by @abujanisandeepkhosla.”
