on giseles forbes profile it says sejaa has been in talks to be acquired by shiseido for over a year. wonder how that is gonna pan out. my guess is, it would bring more attention to her brand but then it woujdnt be 100% hers. hmm.

gisele is mentioned in the new kanye west/jay z song and there are some recent mentions about her from kathy ireland,kendall jenner and sportscaster erin andrews.

If beauty comes from within, then baby your insides must be gorgeous!

that's what Luigi Murenu said about Gisele :wub2:

Gisele Bündchen: “The epitome of an icon. She is what everybody wants to be like and look like today.”

OK kinda funny article about Gisele's old editorial

In June 2002 the cover and shoot I worked on with Corinne Day and Gisele was published in British Vogue.

Gisele had never been shot by Corinne before and as the ultimate Amazonian Supermodel, she was very intrigued to see how Corinne would shoot her. In true Corinne Day fashion, she had the idea to strip her down to the bare minimal and show off her natural beauty.

Gisele specifically flew to London to do the shoot and we all gathered at a studio with white walls, minimal furniture, and loads of maxi dresses. The fashion editor was the amazingly talented Kate Phelan ( now Head Creative Consultant for Top Shop) and make-up was by the talented, humorous French make-up artist Max Delorme.

For the cover I pulled Gisele’s hair back to keep it simple and for the pictures inside I just enhanced her natural waves with a little Bumble and Bumble Brilliantine. I occasionally attached some wool charm dropped hair accessories that I’d acquired from the Jessica Ogden show I’d worked on for London fashion week that season.

The images were a completely new direction for Gisele and I distinctly remember the team ( excluding Gisele) being interviewed individually, including myself, after the shoot was published for a daily tabloid newspaper ( that shall remain nameless). They conned us into believing the article was about how great Gisele looked as her natural self in the Vogue shoot instead of the ultimate Glamazonian we were used to seeing her as. However, the article was actually about an image that had been published in an American newspaper around the same time, of Gisele with her then boyfriend Leonardo Di Caprio, complaining about how thin she looked. They twisted our words in the article to suit the topic and said that as typical sick fashion people we seemed to think that she looked great as her natural self when they actually thought she looked ill.

The journalist who interviewed us stupidly left her phone number on my answering machine, and on reading her article I chose to ring her back to tell her how disgusted I was with her type of cheap journalism, which entails twisting peoples words to make them suit their articles just to create unnecessary controversy. I also told her that I spoke on everyones behalf whom she interviewed. I hung up on her before I gave her the chance to speak or think about defending herself.

Anyway, all that aside, i still love these pictures as Gisele and everyone else on the shoot did too and it was great to see Gisele as herself in all her natural glory.

[track]

hehe that article is killing me

[michelabella]

what projects/jobs would you love to see gisele do? still hoping for chanel,gucci,fendi,prada at least once! and i want her to repeat a campaign she had just one time. chloe,louis vuitton,ysl. etc. i think all my editorial/cover needs have been met already lol. although i wouldnt mind seeing her for w magazine again. and get an interview cover. its pretty much the only big cover she doesnt have. a return to the sexy italian runways would be awesome too.

[Chocolate]

I wouldn't mind any of your wishes and hopes to come true too

[SicK As mY SecReTs]

I wanted Versace and got it,but still want

but mostly now I want D&G and Disquared Gucci. Chanel.. yep good idea

about covers, first I want Interview since she's never had and miss US Vogue

[michelabella]

ah forgot to add (even if it probably wont happen) is a shoot with tom and gisele together finally! not tabloid of course but for w mag ala brad and angelina. although a little superstitious about models and their celeb in a photoshoot together since just about every 90s model who posed with her bf/hubby ended up not together. (cindy and richard,stephanie and axl,linda and kyle,christy and christian,christie and billy,heidi and seal. etc) yikes maybe not such a good idea. but i am dying for her to shoot with another iconic model! particularly linda,stephanie,naomi,kate in a campaign or cover together. fashion has gotten so boring to me. the major models only seem to do solo work. in the 90s it was such an epic supermodel movement when they were doing all the shows campaigns and editorials together. really miss that. there used to only be like 20 top models who did everything. now there are hundreds. ok will stop my nostalgia now lol.
