about

Gisele can be considered queen of the Brazilian supermodel explosion that started over a decade ago. She helped paved the way for names such as Alessandra, Adriana, Ana, and Izabel. Gisele is one of the top grossing supermodels of all time and her Brazilian model friends are right behind her.

This Brazilian beauty supermodel standing at 5'11" is the most sought after supermodel in the industry today. One of the leading fashion magazines has credit Gisele for the return of the sexy model, something that was lost since the supermodels of the late 80's.

Gisele's road to the top of the supermodel world happened all by chance. She was spotted by an agent from the Elite Modeling Agency while eating a big mac at a Sao Paulo McDonald's while on a trip from her home town of Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Despite her father's lack of approval of the career choice, he allowed her to move to Sao Paulo at the young age 14. While in Sao Paulo, Gisele entered the "Elite Look Modeling Competition" in 1995 and her career took off faster than a backstage pass to a Victoria's Secret fashion show.

Now the girl that was once teased by classmates, with nickname Olive Oil, from the Popeye the Sailor cartoons for being so thin and tall, was soon living the life of a supermodel. She was off traveling to exotic locations for photo shoots, walking the runways for today's top high fashion designers, becoming a Victoria's Secret angel, and appearing on cover after cover of fashion magazines.
