Gisele Bundchen

[Ghostwerld]

Everbody knows Claudia Schiffer & everybody knows Gisele

Everybody knows Claudia et al, yes, though a lot of people really don't know who Gisele is.

 

[michelabella]

are you sure about that? lol I can (and have) gone into any salon and say give me the Gisele hair, and they know exactly who I'm talking about, lol even without a picture (or saying her last name) not sure about claudia.....I think more people know who Cindy Crawford is more than anyone though.

One thing is for sure though, if Gisele isn't a "Supermodel", than no other model is today sadly.

 

[WerbowyStegner]

^Well thats also subjective, for example is Australia EVERYONE knows Miranda Kerr but not that many people know Claudia.. a lot of people know Gisele & Adriana etc etc

Vogue offers fascinating fashion read

"The World in Vogue: People, Parties, Places," by Plum Sykes and Hamish Bowles (Knopf, $75)‘People, Parties, Places’ gives glimpse into the life and times of world’s rich and famous

As this annis horribilis limps off, we should kiss it good riddance with a big vulgar bash. But who’s got the cash or nerve for such an extravagance while jobs and nest eggs are evaporating right and left.
Good thing there are yesteryear’s parties. Crashing them vicariously — you don’t even have to put on shoes — is part of the fun of "The World in Vogue: People, Parties, Places."
"Parties" is the second smallest but most boisterous chapter of this large 389-page coffee table bauble. The section documents lavish society weddings and several Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute galas (considered the city’s premier parties).
The best spread is ancient history, from the now-legendary Black and White Ball that Truman Capote threw in 1966 for 540 celebrity guests.
Most are gone. Even the youngest attendees, like Mia Farrow, newly married that year to Frank Sinatra, are in their 60s.
Among the many photographers at the party, Lawrence Fried shot the Principessa Luciana Pignatelli wearing a 60-carat diamond on her forehead. People were unafraid of outrageous display in those days.
A "grab-the-stone-and-run look comes over everyone who sees it," reported Gloria Steinman, who was covering the ball. Nice to hear that the beautiful people aren’t immune to envy.
Except for the "Places" chapter, which situates famous subjects in gorgeous settings — gardens, drawing rooms, Paris — "The World in Vogue" is just a life-and-times of the beautiful people, as shot by skilled and well-paid photographers.
It’s impossible (in this context) but fun to play who’s-the-fairest. Could it be Sophia Loren shot in velvety black and white by Snowdon in 1970. Or model Giselle Bundchen, caught in Brazilian sunbeams by Mario Testino in 2000.
What about Annie Leibowitz’s 30-year supermodel panorama from 1999, a timeline of fresh young things destined to become durable beauties. Note the lean and gorgeous Patti Hansen, at the far right, a Tottenville girl before she married Keith Richards.
A few newcomers got into the book, namely the president, first lady and first daughters, photographed by Ms. Leibowitz on the White House lawn.
Some subjects — models, actresses or ex-models — are so preposterously photogenic, they have their own chapters.
Iman, the Kenya-born 1970s supermodel, shares several frames with her clearly besotted husband, David Bowie. He’s one of the few men in the book.
Of course, fashion (rather than mere celebrity) drives both Vogue the magazine and the book. How else to explain the jacket-cover selection? A red-carpet moment, it’s a shot of nearly makeup-free Giselle Bundchen and Tom Brady arriving at last year’s Costume Institute ("Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy") bash.
Unlike much of what’s in the book, it’s not a staged/styled fashion set-up, but an on-the-fly, lucky catch by Dimitrios Kambouris. The point is Giselle’s wearing Versace. And, yes, that is veteran, highly respected fashion photographer Bill Cunningham’s camera in hand at the far right, on the carpet where he belongs.

some more recent little news tidbits I found


The Cut: Models Use Their Power for Good

Model No. 2: Gisele Bündchen, maybe you've heard of her? She's the current goodwill ambassador for the U.N. Environment Program and protects rain forests in Brazil. (When was the last time you even recycled?)

PopCrunch: Leonardo DiCaprio Sends Baby Gift 2 Gisele Bundchen Tom Brady

There’s no bad blood between exes Leonardo DiCaprio and former flame Gisele Bundchen.

While the couple didn’t work out romantically, the Oscar-nominated star played the distinguished gentleman this holiday season and sent a baby gift to congratulate the Brazilian stunner and her hubby Tom Brady on the arrival of their son, Benjamin. “Leo wasn’t looking to get married and Gisele was, so that’s why it ended,” an insider divulged to Britain’s The People. “Leo still considers her a friend and was so happy for her and Tom that he sent them a basket
filled with baby stuff as soon as she gave birth.”

From a few of my Brazilian sources, I found out why Gisele wasn't on the recent list of Top Brazilian Models, because she is considered there "'hours concours'" which I guess means "beyond top model" icon,etc..
so thats why

they no longer consider her just a "top model" there

so she was excluded from the ranking.

^ Aw, I love the fact that she is too big to be considered as a top model.

And, Oh my, I love the candids of her with Daria! They seem to get along well! Gisele is so cute and playful backstage! Thank you Michela! .

 

[jess93]

^yes michelabella

well, the people i know here consider Gisele more then a top model, we love her

 

[kito09]

^ I have a question, Jess: Is Gisele really well-known and loved in Brazil? I would certainly guess so.

Gisele had a home birth

Two weeks ago we learned that a major celebrity couple had an amazing waterbirth at home, partly inspired by BOBB Since they haven't spoken about it to the media (as far as we know) we'll just give you a "hint" - supermodel + football star. Apparently, the local media in Boston were reporting that she had scheduled a C-section to assure that dad would be there for the birth. The press was calling every hospital in town and totally baffled that they couldn't find her!

[jess93]

^oh yes kito she is really well-know

'til people who don't know much thing about fashion know her and like her, i've met two or three people who don't "like" her or think she is not "really beautiful"

when i'm in the haidressser, women always come and say "Can you do my hair like Gisele's ?", they don't even need a pic or say her surname
and also in the newspaper they usually publish some stuff about her (even if are some old news hehehe)...

 

[ThiagoMello]

True, Gisele is a superstar in Brazil, everybody knows who she is. Any model talk has to include Gisele, and all the models look up to her, she really is an icon in every way in Brazil. I can't imagine a brazilian who doesn't know who Gisele is.

 

[kito09]

^ Wow, that's awesome! Thank you Jess and Thiago!
