These are the photographer quotes on Gisele from her book.



Mert & Marcus: "Its not so often that you get to photograph or be friends with a goddess. She is an inspiration. Her energy and beauty light up the pages."

Patrick Demarchelier: "Gisele is unique in the fashion industry. She has beauty,style,energy,enthusiasm- someone who loves what she does and is a true professional and fantastic to work with!"*

Inez & Vinoodh: "Working with Gisele is like working with sunshine: energy,intensity,perfection,and pure joy is what radiates from her directly onto the page".

Craig McDean: "As a model, Gisele can play many roles from glamorous to androgynous. She has a wonderful understanding of fashion and how to make a photographic image."*

Nino Munoz: "its fun playing dress up with Gisele, with all the hair and makeup and clothes, because its actually so far from who she really is. In reality she is the most down to earth and spiritually connected person I know."

David Sims: "There are so many nice things to say about Gisele,almost too many! I could talk about her beauty, but that's obvious. What strikes me most about Gisele is her energy and total lack of snobbery. She's without an ounce of pretension, so warm and so human that whatever the occasion, its always an absolute pleasure to be with her. What you see in her work is the epitome of health and beauty, what you remember is the blast of sunshine she brings."*

Gui Paganini: "It*is difficult to describe someone with this level of success. But I must highlight her spontaneity, her ability to be authentic, at only fourteen years old, regardless of to whom she was speaking."*

Mario Sorrenti: "I've known Gisele since she was seventeen years old, which is the first time I photographed her. What can I say except that she is AMAZING! PERFECTION! She has been a great friend and an incredible model. She is one of the sweetest,coolest,most down to earth people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. We have done numerous shoots together and some very special photos. I was extremely honored when she asked me a while back to shoot the nudes that appear in this book. As per her wishes, they have never been seen before. I send her a big hug and congratulations on this amazing book."*

Juergen Teller:*"I like Gisele. I like her quite a lot. It's always nice to see her and she's so good at what she does- she's a perfect professional. I think we work together very well."

Mario Testino:*"I am hugely inspired by Gisele. She is a generous,supportive,hard working,loyal friend and close family member. I have seen her grow and stay the same: real."*

Steven Meisel: "We spent many years together, mostly locked in a studio churning out editorial after editorial, campaign after campaign, from Paris collections to jean lines,and there was never a day I wasn't inspired to go to work and see what we could create together. I still feel exactly the same nowadays when I know we'll be working together. To survive as a top model, one must be made out of steel,invulnerable to the constant rejection and the insults made right to your face as if you weren't even present,the jealously from others,the politics,the struggle not to become narcissistic and bitter. Gisele has never lost her innocence, her sense of humor,her empathy,and her professionalism."*

I will do designer/editor etc next if anyone likes those post.

YES!!!

Please post! Thanks so much and *karma* for ya!

Literally got a bit emotional reading Meisel's intro for Gisele. It's clear that everyone loves her - and that is a lesson that people need to hear and know; if you want longevity in this business, people have to really enjoy having you around. It's not the same as acting or singing - where you can be a bit of an ******* and still have a very successful career (as long as your talent burns like wildfire). In modeling, all of the favourites have had lasting personal relationships with the photographers and designers and editors who supported them.

Thanks happycanadian, glad you liked.


Designer quotes*, Gisele's book

Dolce & Gabbana: we have seen her grow on the runway, and she's become a splendid woman and a happy mother. We love her and find her very unique.*

John Galliano: As fearless and fragile as the early morning dew drop on the finest gossamer cobweb. A wisdom and magnetic pull, to rival the wonder of the northern lights. To be near her is to be.*

Alexandre Herchcovitch: I have had the chance to work with Gisele various times. Humor,professionalism, and a great ability to turn any insignificant piece of clothing into something special; this is her greatest power.*

Marc Jacobs: Gisele's ineffable beauty coupled with her charisma,charm,sense of humor,sensibility and unwavering professionalism is a testament to her wonderful character. Her success and the future longevity of her career in fashion is unquestionable. Gisele embodies what it means to be the ultimate modern woman- she's independent, strong,respectful,an incredible mother, and a good friend.*

Karl Lagerfeld: Maybe we have the same German roots, but for me, Gisele represents Brazil at its best...without her this country does not exist!*

Angela Missoni: The first time I met her was in 1998 at the fittings of my fashion show. Gisele was just sixteen then and still unknown,but she immediately struck me,beyond her beauty,for her personality,vitality,her presence on the catwalk,her sensuality. I thought she was an extraordinary girl, a concentration of positive energy,will,and determination. I had then chosen her together with Mario Testino and Carine Roitfeld for my winter 98 campaign, which was the first of a historical series of campaigns, I later even shot with mert & Marcus, not counting the several fashion shows. Meanwhile she became very famous, showing however to be strong and well motivated in dealing with her success and proving to be professionally rich in talent and sensibility. Although she now seems to everybody so powerful and conscious, at the time you sense her fragility, and she was arousing in me,then a young mother,lots of tenderness. I am happy I've seen her grow up. Now she is a woman with a wonderful family for whom I increasingly feel great affection and esteem.*

Riccardo Tisci: Gisele is not only a mind blowing beauty, she is personified intelligence. I love that ambivalence about her: beyond the bombshell, if you knew her well enough, you will find the funniest tomboy.*

Valentino: Gisele is Gisele. In the history of fashion, few women have combined beauty and sex appeal like her, always maintaining her elegance and femininity. I adore her.*

Donatella Versace: Gisele is everything I love about a woman. She is beautiful, she has humor, she is loud, and in whatever she does, Gisele is a leader.*

Alexander Wang: Anyone who had the privilege of working with Gisele knows how special she is. She brings so much joy and energy to every situation. She always gives it her all while having a great time. Not only is she incredibly inspiring as a model, but her humble, genuine personality makes her one of the most beautiful people I have met.*
