Model behavior

EVERYONE'S TALKING

• Model behavior. Last week, supermodel Gigi Hadid was accosted by a man—later revealed to be prankster Vitalii Sediuk—outside of a fashion show in Milan. In a video of the incident, we see Sediuk grab Hadid from behind and the model struggle to break free and elbow him in the face.

While the prank itself is disturbing on many levels (why does someone think it's funny to physically assault a woman?), even more so is the media coverage of it. British tabloid The Sun ran a story about the incident that described Hadid's self-defense as "not model behavior" and her reaction as "aggressive."

Hadid wrote a response in Lenny Letter over the weekend, setting the record straight. "Honestly, I felt I was in danger, and I had every right to react the way I did. If anything, I want girls to see the video and know that they have the right to fight back, too," she wrote. "If my behavior isn't model behavior, then what is? What would you have told your daughter to do in that situation?"

Ta-da: It has become a national phenomenon-and a marketer's dream." Bloomberg

• Gabbing with Garance. On the tenth anniversary of her eponymous blog, Garance Dore—known the godmother of street style blogging—talks to Wired about her approach to fashion photography and how she entered a world once dominated almost exclusively by men. Wired
