Gisele Bündchen

Gisele Bündchen, born in the Brazilian countryside and nearly two meters tall by the age of 14, rose from her humble beginnings to become the most successful supermodel in the world. This book celebrates her 20 years in the industry with a unique and spectacular collection of stunning glamour and intimate, personal revelations.

Gisele was only 18 when she rose to fame walking in Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer 1998 prêt-à-porter show “Rain,” where she earned the nickname “The Body” thanks to her ability to walk in towering heels on a slippery runway. That same year, she landed her first cover for British Vogue and quickly became the most sought-after cover girl of her generation. The following year, she was chosen for the cover of American Vogue, photographed by Steven Meisel, and hailed as “the return of the sexy model,” with her bronzed, athletic beauty challenging the grunge trend of the late ’90s. Since then, Gisele has appeared on over 1,000 covers worldwide, walked in around 450 fashion shows, and starred in multinational campaigns for leading fashion and beauty brands.
