BIANCA Censori has become one of the most photographed celebrities thanks to the constant shock factor of her bold and attention-grabbing looks.
But it turns out that Kanye West hasn’t been the only influence behind his wife’s style for months: a fellow Australian model-turned-clothing designer has taken over — for now — in her place.

Fans may have been shocked to learn that Bianca’s controversial style is the work of a professional — and not, as many believed, a dress-up game for Kanye.
And the Vogue photographer Glauber Bassi stated that Gadir will likely have found it difficult to style Bianca for exactly this reason.
“Kanye’s influence on fashion is undeniable” Bassi told The US Sun.
“This means that working with Bianca would be a challenge for Gadir because of his and Kanye’s distinct artistic visions.
“It would only be possible if Bianca balanced her collaborations with both men.
“She would have to avoid any conflicts.”
THE BEGINNING OF BIANCA’S FASHION GURU
So who is this man rocking Bianca’s style?
According to The cutthe 32-year-old is a mix of Lebanese, French and Indian.
His parents moved to Australia during the Lebanese Civil War, according to Paperand Gadir was born in Melbourne in 1992.
At 18 years old and standing 6 feet tall, he moved to New York to work as a model for three years. Gadir transitioned into photography, which he had enjoyed since high school.
“I definitely get bored [modeling]. I much prefer taking photos,” he said. Schon Magazine in 2013.

“I love short models because they have bigger personalities. Height is not an issue,” he said. Bianca is said to be 1.70 meters tall.
In 2019, he changed careers again: although he still worked as a photographer, he began working on his fashion line, Raga Malak, with his best friend Raquelle Saba.
The first Spring/Summer 2023 collection was launched in October 2022 and included plunging dresses, barely there bikinis and tight corset tops.
Currently on sale from the brand it costs $183 hood$238 wear$61 Bikini Bottom$746 leather jacketand a $170″belt skirt.”
Vogue photographer Bassi explained how Gadir may have made an easy transition into the style.

“Mastering photography is different and requires study and practice,” he said.
“When it comes to style, he may have found it more natural, as models understand clothes, fabrics and trends.
“He would have first-hand experience of what works visually and his contacts are also a significant advantage.”
Gadir’s lineage, Raga Malek, immediately reflected his upbringing.
“Growing up in the Middle East, your family often stops you from doing certain things, like listening to certain music or wearing specific clothes,” he told Paper magazine in 2022.

He explained that these things were haram or forbidden, and his clothing designs resisted this, which meant showing a lot of skin.
His aesthetic also explores his identity as an immigrant, and he has declared that he is “very Arab in the West, very Western in the East”.
“Our clothing celebrates Arabic script, which has been displayed in a more threatening light in the West due to the ongoing conflict,” he said.
“The clothes are more revealing, which some are prohibited from wearing for fear of being scrutinized as ‘too Western’.”
While his name may not be as well-known as Jeremy Scott or Riccardo Tisci, celebrities certainly know Gadir.

Raga Malak has been worn by Paris Hilton, Lourdes Leon, Madonna’s daughter, Doja Cat, Grimes, Ice Spice and Noah Cyrus, among others.
Bianca isn’t even his first styling client: he’s worked with countless publications, styling big names like Kylie Minogue, Troye Sivan, Addison Rae, Bhad Bhabie, and Iris Law.
Gadir considers fashion industry powerhouse Mert Alas, who is also friends with Madonna, to be one of his closest friends.

YEEZY CONNECTION
In addition to his busy schedule, Gadir also served as an architectural designer for Kanye’s brand Yeezy, although it’s unclear whether the pair met there or have been previously connected.
According to the June 2022 edition of Vogue Australiathey are “best friends”.
“The pandemic was the first time in a long time that a lot of Australian creatives were brought back to one place,” Bianca told the outlet at the time.

“Melbourne felt like a melting pot of global creativity. People began to cross disciplines and collaborate in ways I had never experienced before.”
Gadir added: “There’s a level of zen and comfort in being back here… we kind of have our own thing here.”
CREATIVE PAIR
And it seems that she has become Gadir’s muse.
“For Bianca, Gadir’s style is attractive because it highlights her unique personality,” explained Vogue snapper Bassi.
“But her style under Gadir’s influence became exaggerated and overly revealing.
“While it attracts attention and sets trends, it can also polarize.
“Her style isn’t to everyone’s taste.”
PARTY PEOPLE
On Thursday, Bianca celebrated Gadir’s birthday at Gigi’s in Paris in her cheekiest outfit yet.
Apparently made entirely of gray duct tape – with suspender-shaped straps over the breasts – it was designed by Gadir.

Nowadays, Gadir Instagram is peppered with images of Bianca, whom he calls “B,” wearing his designs.
Captioning a photo of her in the duct tape look, he wrote: “B in the tape Booby Bday look.”
“There are never enough Bianca #vultures.” he wrote in another post.
Bianca wears sheer white pantyhose and a matching top in one post, and her messy blonde wig sits askew on her head.
She’s not the only model sporting a serious look on her social media.
Her posts also feature nude strippers, a bikini-clad Lourdes Leon sitting in front of a car, and several models bending over on all fours, facing away from the camera.
UNGUARDED
“Gadir’s style can be described as avant-garde and bold,” added Bassi.
“He often challenges conventional fashion norms.”
“If Gadir’s collaboration with Bianca continues, it could be interesting,” concluded Bassi.
“But even more so if Kanye and him manage to merge their ideas.
“Kanye also innovates and sets trends even though he is very controversial.”
