DUBAI: New York’s famed Rizzoli Books is set to release a new title dedicated to Bella Hadid, offering an intimate portrait of the US Dutch Palestinian supermodel’s life and career.
Titled “Between Us,” the book is scheduled for publication Oct. 6, 2026, coinciding with Hadid’s 30th birthday.
Developed in collaboration with photographer and close friend Yasmine Diba, the project blends candid imagery with handwritten notes and personal archival material. Rather than following a conventional memoir format, it presents a visual narrative tracing Hadid’s journey from her upbringing in Malibu to her emergence as a leading figure in global fashion.
“Spanning from her preteen years to fashion stardom, the book is told through photographs by her childhood best friend alongside Bella’s own previously unseen images, handwritten notes, and text messages,” Rizzoli Books posted on Instagram.
The tome will feature photography by Diba, following Hadid’s journey from middle school to the first informal modeling shoot, taken by Yasmine, to the runways of Paris, Milan, and New York.
Founded in 1974, Rizzoli Books has built a reputation as one of the world’s leading publishers of illustrated titles, particularly in fashion, art, design and photography. Known for its high production standards and carefully curated list, the publisher has worked with some of the most influential names in culture, producing visually distinctive books that often become collector’s items.
Rizzoli Bookstore opened on New York’s Fifth Avenue in 1964, with Rizzoli New York beginning its publishing operation in 1974.
Designed as a 288-page hardcover, “Between Us” incorporates mixed-media elements such as polaroids and marginal notes, and is expected to attract both fans and collectors when it is released internationally later this year.
Also this week, Hadid took to Instagram to share a new campaign shot for Italian luxury label Prada titled “Urban Beaches.”
Prada posted on social media: “Impossible beaches, personal oases, dreams of summer. Bella Hadid photographed on a beach, imagined within the metropolitan landscape.”
