Gigi Hadid Could Help Secure Middle East Peace, Says Tommy Hilfiger

Gigi Hadid could be the way hotter version of Henry Kissinger in helping to secure a Middle East peace ... at least according to mega-designer Tommy Hilfiger.

We got Tommy leaving Madeo in WeHo Friday night and he was gushing over Gigi's cover on Vogue Arabia, where she wore a burka.

Tommy thinks it's definitely a way to bridge the gap.

We also asked him about Rod Stewart's desert video of a fake beheading. Tommy was ... surprised.
