Model biography
Giselle was born on July 20, 1980 in the small Brazilian town of Horizontina. And together with her, a twin sister, Patricia, was born. And in total there are five girls in their family, who all wanted to conquer the podium from childhood.
However, Giselle never dreamed of being a model. She was very fond of playing volleyball during her school years and wanted to connect her life with sports. The girl was tall and had an excellent physique. She never gained any excess weight, and she did not need grueling diets to look fit.
Once with friends, Giselle went to Sao Paulo for a walk. They visited a local cafe, in which at that time was one of the leaders of the modeling agency Elite Modeling. He immediately noticed a beautiful girl and made an offer to try himself on the podium. Parents took this news without much enthusiasm. Father was especially against it. But after a while they reconciled, and in 1995 the girl makes her first steps in the modeling business.
Giselle started working at Elite Modeling and immediately gained a good reputation for herself. In 1997 she moved to work in the United States. In New York, Bündchen wins a beauty contest for the first time and gains worldwide fame. She starred a lot in underwear advertisements and for the covers of glossy magazines. In 1999 alone, the girl appeared four times on the cover of Vogue magazine, which a couple of years later will call her the model of the millennium. Along the way with this, Giselle becomes one of the angels of "Victoria's Secret". But too big requests in 2006 did not allow to continue working with this brand.
Then Giselle signed a contract with the Givenchy trademark and regularly participated in shows. In addition, there were shooting in several films, for example, the role in the film "The Devil Wears Prado". In 2014, she participated in the opening of the Olympic Games in Brazil.
And already in 2015 she announced the end of her modeling career. But this does not prevent Giselle from regularly participating in shows at annual fashion weeks in different parts of the world.
