Description
DATE OF RELEASE: 6 OCT 2026
Beginning with their shared girlhood in Malibu and continuing through Bella s rise to global recognition, this memoir unfolds as a playful dual narrative through the cameras of Bella and Yasmine Diba, a friend who truly knows the woman behind the face. For over a decade, Bella has carved out a path as fashion s edgy, high-concept chameleon, leading the revival in vintage and Y2K fashion. Yasmine s lens captures the whole journey: from middle school goofiness, teen parties, and prom night; to the first informal modeling shoot, taken by Yasmine; to the runways of Paris, Milan, and New York and the excitement of Bella s first Vogue, Harper s Bazaar, and Dazed covers.
One of fashion s most visible personalities, Bella showcases her runway highlights and campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Fendi, and many others alongside moments rarely witnessed by the public: childhood memories with sister Gigi and mother Yolanda, lonely transatlantic flights, off-duty creative rituals, and private emotional reckonings. The book documents Bella s advocacy for mental health and the quiet resilience of her ongoing journey with Lyme disease. Yasmine s images and Bella s handwritten captions offer insight into the evolving young woman behind the public persona.
Together, they create a candid chronicle of growing up in the social media era and the joys of sharing an enduring friendship. Distinctive production features including a large-format hardcover with matte-coated stock, foil-stamped case, mixed-media layouts integrating Polaroids and marginalia, and an intentionally informal, film-forward design make the book both an emotional artifact and a collectible art object. Unlike traditional celebrity retrospectives, Between Us offers authenticity, narrative depth, and visual intimacy, positioning it as a defining publication in contemporary fashion.
