This article is a little skewed but she made Forbes 100 most powerful celebrity list in 2001. (You can see them also referring to cindy, tyra, christy).

I typed that U magazine interview for the site so here it is!

 

GORGEOUS GISELE FOR H&M’s FALL CAMPAIGN

 

Following the exciting news of Gisele Bundchen being named as the face of H&M’s fall campaign, we were thrilled to know more about her spectacular comeback.

 

Gisele Bundchen, who topped Forbse’s Highest Paid Models list last year with a staggering $45 million in annual earnings, has previously worked with H&M in it’s Spring/Summer 2011 campaign. Now she’s gracing billboards with her breathtaking beauty in H&M’s latest campaign for Fall 2013.

 

Tell us about your experience shooting H&M campaign.

I had a great time on the shoot. We had a great team of people and it was a beautiful sunny day so it was perfect that we were able to shoot outside. I also loved recording the song, it was such a fun experience.

 

How was your experience recording the song for commercial ?

I have always loved music, so I loved it! It was my first time singing and it was so much fun. I didn’t wanted to give up the mic!

 

How did you choose the song ?

H&M picked the song and send it to me, and I loved it!

 

What is your favorite piece from the campaign ?

I really loved the green blouse, the green pants, the blue short jacket, the coat and the sweaters. Actually I liked everything I wore.

 

What music do you like to listen to ?

I like to listen to Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Marvin Gaye and also Brazilian music like Bossa Nova and other artists like Caetano, Ellis Regina, Tom Jobim, Marisa Monte and Legiao Urbana. It depend the mood I am in.

 

What is your must-have piece from this fall ?

I am always a big fan of jeans because they are easy to match with everything, cozy sweaters and sweatshirts I think are good options too. A nice light jacket is also good.

 

What is your favorite accessory for fall ?

I love scarves since I usually tend to feel a bit chilly.

 

How do you decide what to wear ?

It depends on my mood, but I always choose pieces that I feel comfortable in.

 

Who within fashion inspires you ?

There isn’t a particular person. I feel people in general inspire me. It could be someone walking in the street or a picture in a book. What is always important to me is to feel comfortable with whatever it is I am wearing.

 

Are you engaged in charity ?

I have a lot of different passions and one of them is mother earth. I believe we are all connected and that our health depends on the health of our planet. For the recognition of my involvement with environmental causes, in 2009, UNEP invited me to be Goodwill Ambassador for environment. Since then I have been helping them to draw attention to such causes.

She is all over Prague too and she is like every 30 minutes on TV I was surprised that my mom recognized Gisele in the commercial (she is not familiar with models) and now she says she has to sing the song all the time

Thank you for the interview!

[Jennka]

Great to hear that!!

You seem to already have the complete package: beautiful family, beauty, health, success and money. Still, keep reinventing themselves-is launching a lingerie brand, is engaging in a social campaign. How do you never get settled?

Im moved by dreams and still many left to perform. Each stage of life has its challenges and learnings, and this causes me not to settle. I'm always learning and trying to grow with the challenges that arise along the way.

Everything you touch turns to gold, regardless of the product. You credits? Just a pretty face is not enough.

In everything I do, I give my best and, if for some reason I can't get there, we need to change. The beginning of my career was very difficult, but soon I realized that each has an ideal of beauty. So, I decided to focus on how can I differentiate. I watched everything that was going on around me and I saw how I could contribute. I've always been (and am) very thankful for the opportunity to be doing this job and I make the most of me-in fact, take longer than expected. Had in mind: "How can I do to make myself indispensable?"

Every relationship requires sacrifice, compromise, negotiation, DRs. Women have claimed, men too. What do you see as the most difficult part of marriage?

For a relationship to work, it is important to understanding and real communication. With the routine race today, alive to finding a balance between being a mother, wife and businesswoman. In my schedule, as well as have time reserved for work, I also have special time marked to stay with my children, with my family, with my husband. But even giving the maximum of me, often can't be everything you want and, in those moments, I try to be gentle with myself and didn't judge myself, reduces my high self-criticism.

You account that heard several "no" at the beginning of the career-or because of the nose, or because of age, lack of curves. Now that seems to have everything, how you handle frustration?

From a very early age I learned that it is impossible to please everyone. Each has life experiences, ideas and tastes quite different. When things don't happen the way I hope, know that there is a lesson to draw from that. Always tried to face challenges such as learning, and to this day it hasn't changed.

From the outside, you seem to be perfect. How to manage the pressure to keep that image intact?

I would be very unhappy if left the opinions of others to define me. Never accepted as truth that stigma of perfect woman. I'm a human being in constant transformation. I have my faults and my insecurities and try to overcome them. This is part of my normal life and always reserve a time to meditate, if only for ten minutes. So, I can quiet the mind and seek the answers. Contrary to what you may think, also have to face difficulties. To overcome my fears and achieve my dreams, it took a lot of dedication, discipline and focus.
