Bella Hadid is not new to the modeling scene, but the up-and-comer is just getting started. So far, she's landed major campaigns — including her latest, for Victoria's Secret Pink — she's taken more than a few turns on the runway, and let's not forget her stunning spreads both solo and alongside big sis Gigi. Sure, she's just turning 19 today, but it seems she's poised to take over the fashion world.
We had the chance to talk to the It model at the launch of Samsung's Fall lookbook (of which she is the star), and Bella was bubbling with responses that were both thoughtful and fun. From her Fall shopping list (which includes '70s-inspired pieces like suede jackets and bell-bottoms) to the truth about whether she and Gigi really share clothes to what she considers her signature style, the model of the moment had lots to say. Read on for seven of our favorite quotes, some of which might just surprise you!

On the Piece She Buys Over and Over
"Leather jackets. I just feel like I can't get enough — Helmut Lang, Saint Laurent, Chrome Hearts. My friend owns Chrome Hearts and she's just killer, I love her."

On Her Signature Style
"I wake up in the morning and if I want to wear a vintage tee and a leather, I will, but if I want to wear a pair of overalls or a skirt, I do. It just depends what the day is — I put on what makes me happy and what I feel like wearing."

On Her Early Style
"My whole life I've been pretty independent with my style, and my mom has been really giving when it comes to that. When I was super young I would paint my nails black and wear eyeliner and she let me do what I wanted to, which really shaped my style."
On Her Never-Ending Love For Denim
"I have literally 200 pairs of jeans. Every time I'm like, 'I don't have any jeans,' and my mom says, 'You're crazy.'"

On Sharing Clothes With Gigi
"I have this belt that she really wants back, but she has four of my sweaters. Yesterday she was wearing my sweater and she's calling me out for wearing her belt! Don't talk to me about your belt if you're going to wear my sweater."

On the Difference Between Her and Gigi's Styles
"She loves bright colors . . . She'll wear something and I'll think, 'You're crazy.' But it looks so good on her so I don't even care. I usually just keep it to leather and black."
On Her Social Media Presence
"Being on social media I feel like everyone — and especially for models these days — personality has to go a long way, and I think that the effects and all the different things you can do on the [Samsung Galaxy] phone really brings out your personality. I love taking pictures, so it's really cool to be able to put that on Instagram or Twitter and show them."
