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.
Gisele
went on to do campaigns for major fashion houses such
as Ralph Lauren,Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Celine,
Gianfranco Ferre, Chloe, Victoria's
Secret
and XOXO.
She
also appeared on the cover of magazines such as Vogue,
Allure, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, Arena, Rolling
Stone, Elle, and this months Vanity Fair. Gisele was titled
" The Most Beautiful Girl in the World " by
Rolling Stone Magazine
For
years she was known as a famed Victorias Secret Angel.
Gisele was the face of Victoria's Secret for almost ten
years until ending her contract in 2008.
Over
the years she has won many awards such as "model
of the year" from the Vogue
/ VH1 fashion awards. Her
career has continued to grow and branch out in many directions.
With her success she was able to create the Luz Foundation,
a project to empower girls and help them deal with self-esteem
issues.
 She
has recently launch her new shoe line Ipanema by Gisele
Bündchen. She donates a portion of the profits from her
Brazilian line of flip-flops to protect Amazon rain-forest
water. This is among other Brazilian programs she has
started to protect waterways and restore deforested areas
of Brazil.
Along
with so many projects in her life she has also been fortunate
enough to find time for true love. She married NFL star
quarterback Tom Brady and took a little time off from
modeling to have her first child.
In only a few weeks from the having her baby, Gisele has
already been back to work. She has just launched her skin
care line natural Sejaa
and has been working on ad campaigns
