Palestinian-Dutch supermodel Bella Hadid, renowned for her impeccable street style, has captivated the fashion world with her unique fashion choices. However, ever since news broke that she was dating art director Marc Kalman, he has also been turning heads with his distinctive sense of style. While Bella Hadid and Marc Kalman have reportedly called it quits in early 2023, their fashion moments together have undeniably made a lasting impression.
Marc Kalman, an art director and creative talent in the fashion industry, has made a name for himself behind the scenes. With high-profile collaborations and an impressive portfolio, he has worked with brands like Bathing Ape and artists like Travis Barker. Prior to his relationship with Bella Hadid, Kalman had already established himself in the industry, creating logo art for Fashion Week and working at The New York Times as a fashion assistant. Rumours of their relationship began circulating in July 2020 when the couple was spotted together in New York. Although they likely crossed paths before, it is believed that they met through mutual acquaintances. By July 2021, Bella Hadid seemingly confirmed their relationship on Instagram, sharing a now-deleted photo of them together in the South of France during the Cannes Film Festival. Since then, they have become a beloved couple in the fashion world, known for their unique and offbeat street style.
