It seems their hard work can be used towards any outlet.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bella-hadid-iconic-runway-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Models</a> are known for their <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-beauty-looks-2023-grammys-red-carpet-makeup-hair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beauty</a> and drive, so it makes sense that so many of these gorgeous women step into <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/celebrity-wellness-brands-poosh-goop-cosmoss" target="_blank" rel="noopener">entrepreneurial</a> roles. While we know so many <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/why-is-every-celebrity-launching-their-own-beauty-brand-kylie-cosmetics-fenty-beauty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beauty brands</a> by models, many of them have also started <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/la-ligne-jeans-denim-line-selma-blair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fashion</a> brands. Often intertwining their own <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/personal-style-tips-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">style</a> and ideas into their labels, these models emphasize their ability to work hard for what they love.&nbsp;
From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gigi-hadid-best-street-style-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gigi Hadid</a>'s cashmere label to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ashley-graham-interview-fausto-puglisi-capsule-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ashley Graham</a>'s size-inclusive brand, L'OFFICIEL&nbsp;looks at some of the best fashion brands from models.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/elsa-hosk-street-style-instagram" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elsa Hosk</a>, the former <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/rise-and-fall-victorias-secret-timeline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Victoria's Secret</a> Angel, started her clothing brand, Helsa, in 2022. The Los Angeles-based studio designs simple yet chic pieces inspired by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/scandinavian-brands-scandi-girl-style-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scandinavian fashion</a>. Hosk blends her love for <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/back-to-basics-fashion-essentials-denim-style-2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">effortless essentials</a> and the importance of living in the moment with Helsa.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/celebrity-knitwear-brands-gigi-hadid-ella-emhoff-tom-daley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guest in Residence</a>, the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/best-cashmere-pieces-for-the-winter-season" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cashmere</a> brand by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gigi-hadid-new-mom-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gigi Hadid</a>, speaks to Hadid's life as a model. Constantly moving from hotel to hotel, she was truly a guest in residence. She created this brand to bring the constant comfort of cashmere directly to consumers. Also passionate about <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/vintage-outfits-thrift-stores-nyc-model-shopping-guide-bella-hadid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sustainability</a>, Hadid wanted to design heirlooms rather than clothes that expire as the seasons change.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Though we first knew her from her time on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kim-kourtney-khloe-kardashian-kris-jenner-talk-ending-keeping-up-with-the-kardashians" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Keeping Up With The Kardashians</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kendall-jenner-most-iconic-runway-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kendall Jenner</a> soon became the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kendall-jenner-highest-paid-supermodel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highest-paid model</a> in the world. She and her sister, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/kylie-cosmetics-kylie-jenner-beauty-brand-success-billionaire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kylie Jenner</a> began their clothing brand, Kendall + Kylie, in 2012 when they were only young teenagers. However, the brand is still a successful girl's line and yet another <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/every-kardashian-family-business-kylie-cosmetics-skims-kkw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kar-Jenner company</a>.&nbsp;

Cool girl <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/alexa-chung-french-girl-style-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexa Chung</a> released her eponymous clothing brand in 2017. Chung, a former model and TV personality, known for her <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/preppy-trends-summer-loafers-cardigans-blazer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">preppy</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/what-is-twee-tiktok-aesthetic-zoey-deschanel-style-2010s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">twee</a> style, highlighted her love of fashion with her label. Sadly, the brand closed shop in 2022 after the COVID-19 pandemic and all of the difficulties it brought.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/emily-ratajkowski-dating-history-post-divorce" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emily Ratajkowski</a> has been doing single life right. But even before she was inspiring us all with her podcast, High Low, she was working on her swimwear brand, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/emrata-walk-her-dog-and-deli-in-underwear-lingerie-inamorata" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inamorata</a>. Inspired by the Southern California beaches that she grew up on, these designs embrace <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/self-love-influencers-instagram" target="_blank" rel="noopener">self-love</a> and looking good.

Supermodel <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/model-ashley-graham-gets-a-contract-with-revlon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ashley Graham</a> has been honest about her dislike for the label, "plus-size." In an <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ashley-graham-interview-fausto-puglisi-capsule-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with L'OFFICIEL Italia</a>, she says, "I'm not a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/plus-size-swimsuits-summer-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plus-sized</a> model. I'm a model of my size." And that's exactly what brought her to create Commonry, a clothing brand for women size 10-22. With this brand, Graham emphasizes the importance of a good <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-style-your-outfit-to-best-fit-your-body-type-shape" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fit</a> in feeling confident, and this brand ensures that all women can dress to make them feel beautiful.

Another former Victoria's Secret Angel, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/supermodel-pregnancy-style-maternity-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Candace Swanepoel</a> is inspired by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/julian-charriere-artist-destruction-human-nature-not-all-who-wander-are-lost-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nature</a>. Her lifestyle brand, Tropic of C, is "influenced by nature, inspired by the female form." This <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kim-kardashian-best-metallic-swimsuit-moments-summer-skims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">swimwear</a> and clothing company interweaves Swanepoel's passion for <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/sustainable-bags-luxury-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sustainability</a> with her love of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/tarnish-free-jewelry-for-summer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beach</a>.&nbsp;
