Guest in Residence
Guest in Residence is a cashmere brand founded in New York by Gigi Hadid, who serves as creative director. Our mission is to create future heirlooms – knitwear designed to last years, not seasons.
“Reflecting on years of travel and transience, away from home regardless of the place, I was a guest in residence. Of course, those existential thoughts can creep up of feeling homesick, but I always tried to find ‘home’ within myself—my internal residence. I became comfortable with the concept of a guest in residence. And it made me think further: We’re guests on this planet and in our bodies, guests when we travel, and indeed, guests in our clothes. Clothes, when well made, can have many different lives, different owners, and different stories. The genesis of Guest In Residence is to honor past heirlooms and give life to new ones spanning generations.” – Gigi Hadid
With lifelong experience as a model and creative, Guest in Residence is Hadid’s way of paying homage to those who taught her, paving the way for the next generation of creatives, all while pioneering a modernized take on heritage.
