“I think a lot of people wonder why I’m not angry,” Gigi says. “But if you knew my father, all of this doesn’t come as a surprise. He’s known for doing outrageous things…I think if we were stuck in the ice age, penicillin wasn’t invented and people lived until they were 30, I could put up with marrying a man and creating children,” she says. “People say ‘life is too short’, but really, life is too long…" Gigi Chao for PORTER Summer 2014.

Gigi joins PORTER’s line-up of female storytellers, the theme of the Summer issue (fronted by Lady Gaga) - whose narratives are told throughout the magazine’s 274 pages.
