Model Biography
Gisele was born on July 20, 1980 in the small Brazilian town of Horizonte. Moreover, with her, the twin sister Patricia was also born. And all in all, there are five girls in their family who all wanted to conquer the podium since childhood.
However, Giselle never dreamed of being a model. She loved volleyball during her school years and wanted to connect her life with sports. The girl was tall and had an excellent physique. She never gained excess weight, and she did not need exhausting diets to look fit.
Once with friends, Giselle went to Sao Paulo for a walk. They visited a local cafe, which at that time was one of the leaders of the modeling agency Elite Modeling. He immediately noticed a beautiful girl and made an offer to try himself on the podium. Parents took this news without much enthusiasm. Father was especially against it. But after a while they reconciled, and in 1995 the girl takes her first steps in the modeling business.
Giselle began working at Elite Modeling and immediately gained a good reputation. In 1997, she moved to work in the United States. In New York, Bündchen won the beauty contest for the first time and gained worldwide fame. She starred a lot in advertising underwear and for the covers of glossy magazines. Only in 1999, the girl appeared four times on the cover of Vogue magazine, which a couple of years later would call her the millennium model. Along the way, Giselle becomes one of the Victoria Secret angels. But too big requests in 2006 did not allow to continue working with this brand.
Giselle then entered into a contract with the Givinche trademark and regularly participated in shows. In addition, there were shootings in several films, for example, the role in the film "The Devil Wears the Prado". In 2014, she participated in the opening of the Olympic Games in Brazil.
And in 2015, she announced the completion of her modeling career. But this does not prevent Giselle from regularly participating in shows at annual fashion weeks in different parts of the world.
From the very beginning of her career, Bündchen willingly participated in various charity events and tried to help poor people around the world. So the model provided financial assistance to third countries in Africa, the inhabitants of Haiti after the earthquake, and so on.
For all her merits, the girl officially became the international ambassador of UNEP, an organization that is struggling with environmental problems on our planet. Giselle, for fifteen years, was at the top of the list of the highest paid models in the world and appeared on the covers of fashion magazines around the world more than 7000 times.
