With fall’s arrival, it’s not just the wind or the color of the leaves that change, but also the fashion that takes on a whole new look. We swap out our crop tops and shorts for a classic cardigan and a pair of baggy jeans. As the temperatures drop, Gigi Hadid’s luxury cashmere knitwear line, Guest in Residence, offers the perfect blend of cozy and couture to elevate your autumn wardrobe.
Launched in September 2022, Guest in Residence was inspired by the hand-me-down cashmere sweaters from Gigi’s parents that had once brought her comfort during her move to New York. Such clothes became portable keepsakes as she continuously traveled as a model. During her guest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Hadid explained that she “really wants to encourage this generation to invest in good quality pieces and keep them for a long time in their wardrobes and then pass them down to people they love”, similar to her parents’ treasured clothing. This sentiment reflects how “the genesis of Guest in Residence is to honor past heirlooms and give life to new ones spanning generations.”
With the firm belief that comfort is key, Guest in Residence features a vast variety of knitwear, including sweaters, cardigans, pants, and more with accessories like scarves, beanies, and socks. The collection is unisex, designed for men and women and ensuring that the brand provides comfort for all. Each piece is crafted with joyful colorways, giving the cozy, luxury knitwear its own vibrant and unique touch. This is perfectly captured in the line’s recent partnership with Caviar Kaspia, a restaurant brand famous for high-quality caviar and gourmet foods.The limited-edition collaboration features cashmere sweaters decorated in graphics inspired by the iconic tins and mosaics found in Kaspia locations throughout the world. Available in two colorways, the first sweater is an emerald hue, an homage to the restaurant’s signature green color, while the other is a rich cream shade.
Using her lifelong experience in the modeling industry, Hadid has used the lessons taught by her fashion mentors to continuously grow and strengthen her brand’s presence, especially as they celebrated the clothing line’s one-year anniversary last year. In celebration, Guest in Residence opened their flagship store in New York in October 2023, marking a significant milestone. Through this, the brand has been able to increase their physical presence with customers, allowing them to continuously grow.
Gigi Hadid’s brand truly goes beyond fashion, representing mindful consumption and a celebration of heritage and heirlooms. These high-quality, timeless garments embrace the beauty of fall and perfectly combine comfort with style. Whether you’re pairing the Shrunken Polo with a pair of jeans or the Cozy Crew with some sweatpants, investing in Guest in Residence’s luxury pieces will surely elevate your autumn outfits and remain wardrobe staples for many more falls to come.
