"Gisele Bundchen, along w Kate Moss, is a phenomenon. I wish models knew they have to have a personality" -Anna Wintour
"Gisele Bundchen is a bit of a jock. 1 of my fave shoots is her playing football" - Anna Wintour
"I was mesmerized by her" (on first time meeting ) - Mario Testino
-"Models today, don't understand that to be successful you have to have a personality, intelligence, and issues that you support, and Gisele embodies these qualities." - Anna Wintour
-"The great thing about her is that she grew up from the "supermodel Gisele" into this responsible, amazing woman with an extraordinary and positive energy, ready to help anyone who needs it." -Peter Lindbergh
-"There are thousands of models out there who don't become successful - you need to be beautiful, dynamic and clever. If your brain doesn't work, you won't survive. Gisele hasn't changed over the years: she speaks a lot, she is funny and she is not scared of saying what she thinks." - Dolce & Gabbana
-"When it comes to money, Gisele really knows her stuff." - Katie Grand
-"Gisele is 100 per cent photogenic. It sounds shallow, but it's in the way that her face and body are put together, they work every time." photographer Elaine Constantine.
-"I thought she was the most perfect girl I've ever seen,". "She's exceptionally savvy - you really feel that she's in control of her career. I'm sure she owed a lot to her agency in the beginning, but you do get the feeling that ultimately it's Gisele's decision what she does and, probably, how much she gets." - Katie Grand
-"She's one of those models who can do anything. Her exuberance, her sexiness. She puts the work in and she'll wait for the right shot, sometimes for hours and hours." - Lee Swillingham, creative director of LOVE
-"The only time I've ever seen her say 'no' - and I've made her lie naked on hospital floors - it was midday, 140 degree heat, Death Valley, in a fur coat. She said 'I can't stand anymore', but the previous evening, wearing a bikini in a thunder and lightning storm, she'd been fine." - Katie Grand
-"Where some models take the money [for commercial, rather than editorial, work] and are then embarrassed to enter into it, when she's decided to do the campaign, she's 100 per cent behind it. If they ask her to say 'This is the best lipstick in the world', she does. It's slightly tongue in cheek, but you get swept along with her enthusiasm." - Nick Knight
-"She's a goddess. She has the look, the personality, the strength, the sexy side, yet as well as this, she's so warm, so likeable." - John Galliano
-"Gisele on her own has managed to revive the concept of "Supermodel" - Anna Wintour
-"She is even better in the flesh. I think it was her first season in Paris when she came to do a fitting. I had heard about Gisele, but when she walked in the room I felt like my fingers had been put into the electrical socket, like, pwoah! Pure electricity." John Galliano.
-"What I love about her is her sensuality and energy. Gisele is one of a kind." Donatella Versace.
-She is friendly to everyone (down to the last production assistant), raids the cookie plate herself, and chats nonstop. She manages to keep it real despite the maelstrom of press reports chronicling her life. - Peter Lindbergh
-"She devours the camera. Gisele is very much a part of the creative process and always pushes herself and us to create a strong, sexy icon. She has really helped redefine who the Dior character is and taken it to the next level." John Galliano
-"She brought sexy back way before Justin Timberlake," John Galliano
-"We love her attitude. She's self-confident, conscious of her beauty, independent. She is what a woman should be." Dolce & Gabbana
