So why do some models always get reprints and others don't? I always wonder that. Some models have a few but literally every shoot Gisele does gets reprinted like crazy. what is the point of reprints? Another reprint today Magazine Clin d'oeil lovevsmodels.com

Here I was 25! It was a commercial p Ipanema sandal!! A sweet woman! instagram

wow she had so many looks at Valentino. In the House of Style vid she was in every show. Thanks for the nostalgia. Its crazy how well clothes fit on her body. damn.

THE PARTY: Elles by Gilles Bensimon at Sofitel New York launch THE PLACE: Sofitel New York THE DEETS: It’s not every day that iconic women like Zooey Deschanel, Catherine Deneuve, Carla Bruni, Beyonce, and Gisele Bündchen are in one room together. Thanks to the influence and artistic brilliance of Gilles Bensimon, however, exactly that happened at the Sofitel in New York City. To celebrate a selection of distinguished women within the arts and entertainment industry, Bensimon, the former International Creative Director of Elle magazine, curated 25 famous photographs for his Elles by Gilles Bensimon collection. Glam had the honor of watching as Bensimon himself presented the photographs before opening the exhibit to the public, and listen when we say, this is one exhibit you won’t want to miss. Elles by Gilles Bensimon is open through April when the collection will travel on to Sofitel Washington DC, Chicago, and Los Angeles. http://blogs.glam.com/glamchic/2013/03/12/party-report-elles-by-gilles-bensimon-at-sofitel-new-york/

I know its different eras but Gisele still got them from 99 to 2010. but yeah defnitely harder for models now. Sometimes I think a reality star would have a bigger chance than most models would. :yuckky: (sorry for my constant nostalgia of the greatest f*cking modeling era that ever existed, lol...) damn I swear they built their new house for privacy. Since she has moved into that home in LA we get zero pap pics or sightings of her....I think she has enough there to never leave the house.

She's never had campaigns for (of any kind beauty of mainline) Gucci Fendi Prada Alexander McQueen Oscar dela Renta Alberta Ferretti Armani Balmain Blumarine Calvin Klein Max Mara Marc Jocobs Emilio Pucci Tom Ford Vivienne Westwood I'm sure there is more but those are the only bigger brands I could think of. The only ones on my wish list are the first 3. Calvin Klein is out of the question because Francisco Costa doesn't like using Brazilian models in the campaigns. (which he himself is Brazilian,weird) They're probably too sexy for the label which is more about minimal clean slate beauty.

The summer after she graduated from high school, aspiring model Cindy Crawford booked a job with Italian Vogue in Rome. Watch as she recounts how a hairstylist chopped off her ponytail—without her permission—and dyed her hair orange. Find out how this experience taught Cindy to be her own advocate. more videos here: http://www.youtube.com/user/OWN She's seriously the best spokesmodel. I miss when models didn't give you a headache or make you cringe when they speak.

I forget who put it like this but there are two sides of modeling; Profit & Prestige. Its amazing how Gisele has been able to balance the two. I like Tyra and Heidi but lets face it they lack any prestige within the fashion world. They're made a mockery of (not that I always agree with those high fashion snobs, but they are)... I'm sure Gisele was also, once she signed her VS contract but she proved everyone wrong and still maintained her fashion relationships. This is where alot of models go wrong once they get their mega contracts.

She has been offered TV, at least to host Brazil's Next Top Model and she declined apparently because she had no interest in a tv career. I am glad for that. I think tv would be great like how Naomi is doing it, in her 40s, but 20s and 30s is too young to "cash out" imo.

She retired from the catwalks in 2001. then she came back. and her Vanity Fair 2004 shoot she said she would model for 2 years more maximum... well that didnt happen either. haha. At her Ipanema launch in 2010 she said she is always going to be working til she is old , if she "believes in the project". I believe her. Even if modeling projects slow down, she will always be doing something with her brands and in Brazil I think. Who knows whats next for her! It seems she always tries something new out every few years.

no bc Karl shoots Chanel. Testino rarely shoots campaigns anymore does he?, I think it sounds cover shoot-ish.

I can't wait to watch her on Oprah's Master Class tomorrow , here's a clip Video: Cindy Crawford Reveals Why Her 14-Year Marriage to Rande Gerber Is Still Going Strong Read more: http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/cindy-crawford-reveals-why-her-14-year-marriage-to-rande-gerber-is-still-going-strong-201373#ixzz2N607V6mr

I wonder too Jennka. although she's been retiring since 2001 ^ and she always ends up coming back. I truly think the woman is a workaholic and can't sit still/gets bored really easily.

pretty much ^. VS really helped boost her but if people think it girls and fashion darlings like Karlie,Cara,Candice,Lara etc are everywhere, Gisele was that x1000. Of course it was still "the Supermodel Era" when Gisele was a newbie so I'm sure that helped her as well. models were still on covers and such. I always say 1998 was her breakout year (her first huge year of runway,covers,campaigns,editorial) 1999 she was the "it girl/fashion darling" and by 2000 she was a full blown Supermodel. haha. Even the young(er) models today can't get American Vogue covers let alone 3 in one year at age 18/19 like Gisele did. that was huge.

Hey guys, going by her track record when there are long pauses of no new Gisele work/news usually only means one thing; She's working. I wouldn't doubt if she's already shot 5 covers and 2 campaigns. Remember she is not one of those models who tweets every single photoshoot she has done/is doing. It sometimes kills me but I like the suspense. and I know she is busy taking care of her children and family but she also has advantage of not having to travel for work much at all. They come to her now days. If we go by her last pregnancy comeback she shot Vogue US,Calzedonia,i-D at her home in Costa Rica and Vogue Korea,Vogue Mexico,Muse by her home in LA, all within months and no one had a clue. Let's hope this time is no different.

someone posted this on instagram. some kind of bridal collection coming?

I wonder why she's never had a Gucci campaign.

I found this old article on when she signed as a VS angel. (I want to find the one where she was being talked out of signing her contract back in 1999/2000 from the fashion world...apparently the likes of Wintour,Testino etc were talking her out of signing and how it would ruin her career...I would love to find that article again. hehe.)

Wow! I've never seen that first one before. Where did you find that image? instagram. If I remember well Matheus Mazzafera posted it. The girls look so young.

yes I know since she got married to Tom she took a back seat.

oh yeah that is the one from 08 ^ her last American talk show appearance.
