... this has rather made my day!
Gisele didn’t seem to like the cover because that was the last shot in her Instagram carousel, lol.
The main editorial is quite nice. I love bombshell Gisele and will always do. There’s a certain W magazine circa 2003 which I quite appreciate too. Body looking athletic as usual.
The second shot, the shot in the gown and the shot with the black and brown fur are fabulous…
But it’s Gisele being Gisele…
I though a supermodel was supposed to be a chameleon. Now, they all have their brands or aesthetic and sticking to it.
‘So either we have « Mother-Earth Gisele » or « Bombshell » Gisele.
The last time her was challenged was when she did the Balenciaga punk collection 12 years ago.
Seeing her work lately makes me miss shoots on location and story telling because those white backgrounds starts to all look the same now…
I can only really think about 3 Chameleons : Guinevere, Karen Elson and Liya Kebede. They don’t appear that much but when they do, it’s about the story and not « them ».Her editorial with Meisel for British Vogue was very good and she is great on location too... but you are right with almost everyone one with notable exceptions of course....all is about personal branding and all that BS....

Even Gisele campaigns are about her branding…From her Chanel N5 to her Latest Louis Vuitton campaign…
I would love for her to do Loewe for example!
See completely forgot about that one. But that was great!She did Loewe...fw17...
Their agents built her career as a brand...i remember in the late 90's early 00's her name featured at magazine's covers when new models didn't get that at the time....but that doesn't dismissed her skills,i think sometimes teams are too excited to work with her that rely all on her instead of trying to propose a new or fresh angle...anyway at this point she did almost everything....
See completely forgot about that one. But that was great!
I think with some household names, they can be everywhere and be everything. And she is still a great model. I have great pleasure to see her work compared to Naomi and Kate for example…
